You are provided with marble chips (calcium carbonate) and hydrochloric acid. (a) Set up the apparatus provided as shown in Fig. 2.1. To obtain an inverted 100 cm3 measuring cylinder full of water: • fill the measuring cylinder with water • place your finger or hand firmly over the open end of the cylinder so no water can run out • invert and place this end under the water in the water container • remove your hand and clamp the cylinder in place (note that a small amount of air in the measuring cylinder will not be a problem in this experiment) • push the tubing of the delivery tube up into the cylinder a little way. delivery tube clamp large test-tube 100 cm3 measuring cylinder water water container Fig. 2.1 (i) experiment 1 • Disconnect the large test-tube and use a measuring cylinder to place 20 cm3 of hydrochloric acid into it. • Measure the temperature of the acid in the large test-tube and record in Table 2.1 this temperature to the nearest half degree for experiment 1. • Add ten marble chips to the acid. • Connect the delivery tube to the large test-tube making sure that the tube goes up into the measuring cylinder as in Fig. 2.1. • Start the stopclock. • When one minute is shown on the stopclock read the volume V1 of gas collected in the measuring cylinder. Record in Table 2.1 this volume V1 for experiment 1. • When two minutes is shown on the stopclock read the volume V2 of gas collected in the measuring cylinder. Record in Table 2.1 this volume V2 for experiment 1.

Record in Table 2.1 this volume V1 for experiment 2. • When two minutes is shown on the stopclock read the volume V2 of gas collected in the measuring cylinder. Record in Table 2.1 this volume V2 for experiment 2. [2] (iii) experiments 3 and 4 Repeat (a)(ii) two more times for experiments 3 and 4, increasing the temperature of the acid by about 10 °C each time. You may need to replace the hot water in the beaker. [3] (b) (i) For each experiment calculate the volume V of gas produced in the second minute. Record your values in Table 2.1. [1] (ii) On the grid provided, on page 5, plot a graph of the volume V of gas produced in the second minute against the temperature of the hydrochloric acid. Draw the best-fit straight line or smooth curve as appropriate. [3] (c) Use your graph to describe the relationship between the temperature of the acid and the rate of the reaction. ................................................................................................................................................... ...............................................................................................................................................[1] (d) (i) Suggest one reason why it is more accurate to compare the volumes of gas produced in the second minute rather than in the first minute. ........................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................[1] (ii) Suggest an alternative method for measuring the rate of reaction between marble chips and acid. You may draw a labelled diagram but you must state what is being measured. ........................................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................[2]

Q3 · You are going to find the density of water by two different methods

3 You are going to find the density of water by two different methods. You are provided with a balance, an empty measuring cylinder, a beaker containing water and a test-tube. (a) Method 1 (i) Use the balance to measure the mass m1 of the empty measuring cylinder to the nearest 0.1 g. m1 = ....................................................... g [1] (ii) Remove the measuring cylinder from the balance and pour approximately 65 cm3 of water into it. Record the volume V1 of water in the measuring cylinder. V1 = .................................................. cm3 [1] (iii) Use the balance provided to measure the mass m2 of the measuring cylinder and water to the nearest 0.1 g. m2 = ........................................................g [1] Keep the water in the measuring cylinder, as it will be used in Method 2. (iv) Calculate the density d1 of the water using your values from (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(iii), using the equation shown. State the unit of your answer. (m2 – m1) d1 = V1 d1 = ........................... unit = .................... [2] (v) State how you ensured that your reading of the volume of water in the measuring cylinder was as accurate as possible. ........................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................[1] (b) Method 2 (i) Use the balance to measure the mass m3 of the test-tube to the nearest 0.1 g. m3 = ....................................................... g [1] (ii) Take the measuring cylinder and water used in Method 1. Slowly and carefully lower the test-tube into the measuring cylinder until it floats, approximately vertically, as shown in Fig. 3.1. The test-tube should not touch the bottom of the measuring cylinder. water Fig. 3.1 Record the new volume V2 of water in the measuring cylinder.
