1 Three experiments, I, II and III are carried out to investigate the factors affecting the rate of reaction. Table 1 shows
the reactants and the conditions of reaction involved.

Experiment Reactants Condition of reaction

I Excess zinc 50 cm3 of 0.5 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid Room temperature
3 -3
II Excess zinc 50 cm of 0.5 mol dm sulphuric acid Room temperature
III Excess zinc 50 cm3 of 0.5 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid 60 °C
Table 1

(a) (i) Refering to experiments I, II and III, state:

 The meaning of the rate of reaction
 Two factors that affect the rate of reaction [3 marks]

ii) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction in experiment. [2 marks]

(b) Calculate the total volume of hydrogen gas released in experiment I.

[Molar gas volume at room conditions is 24 dm3] [3 marks]

(c) Diagram 1 shows the results of experiments I, II and III.

Diagram 1

Based on the graph,

(i) compare the rate of reaction between experiment I and experiment II.
Explain your answer using the Collision Theory.
[5 marks]

(ii) suggest one way to obtain curve III without changing zink, acid or temperature in experiment II.
Explain your answer using the Collision Theory.
[5 marks]

(iii) explain why the total volume of hydrogen gas released in experiment I and experiment II is doubled that of
experiment I.
