0 1 A student investigated the rate of the reaction between zinc and sulfuric acid. box



Hydrogen gas is produced during this reaction.

Figure 1 shows the apparatus.

Figure 1




This is the method used.

1. Add 50 cm3 of sulfuric acid to a conical flask.

2. Add 2.0 g of zinc to the conical flask.

3. Quickly put a stopper in the conical flask and start a timer.

4. Measure the time taken to collect 20 cm3 of gas.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 three more times.



0 1 . 1 Suggest why the stopper must be put in the conical flask as quickly as possible in
step 3.

Determine the mean time taken to collect 20 cm3 of gas.

Do not include any anomalous results.

Use the equation:
volume of gas collected
mean rate of reaction =
mean time taken
[5 marks]

0 1 . 3 The student changed the investigation so that the mean time taken to collect box

20 cm3 of gas was greater.

Which two changes would increase the mean time taken to collect 20 cm3 of gas?
[2 marks]
Tick () two boxes.


Use a catalyst


Use a larger conical flask


Use a lower temperature


Use smaller pieces of zinc


Use sulfuric acid of a lower concentration
