1a. State one conclusion about the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction? (1 mark)
-An increase in temperature increases the rate of reaction
aii. One reason why? (1 mark)
-Because the volume of gas being produced at 40 degrees was more rapid than at 20 degrees.
a(iii). Average rate (1 mark)
-2 cm cubed per second (I think)
1 (b) two students should the student keep constant? (2 marks)
-Mass of Marble Chips
-Concentration of acid
b ii. Increasing the surface area affect the rate of reaction? (2 marks)
-Increases the rate of reaction
-As the particles are colliding more frequently (more successful collisions)
c. Why does a catalyst reduce costs?
-Because less energy is needed to start the reaction (as it has a lower activation energy)
(there may be alternatives)
2 (a). What could the student see? (1 mark)
-Copper being formed (brown) or zinc disappearing
2(b).Improves the investigation? (2 marks)
Improvement: Use a lid/ insulate the container
Reason: Prevents heat from being transferred to the surroundings/escaping.
2c (6 marker - will do later at some point)
3 (a). How does a metal conduct electricity? (4 marks)
-Delocalised electrons can move through the metal
-Transfer electrical charge
-Sea of moving electrons (structure)
-Lattice of positive ions (structure)
3(b). Describe the structure of an alloy is different to a metal (2 marks)
-Different elements with different sizes
-Distort layers in the mixture, preventing them from sliding over each other.
OR
-Irregular pattern of atoms.
3(c). Why is Nitinol used in braces? (1 mark)
-Hard/strong/corrosive-resistant/smart-alloy
3(c) (ii). Why are coins not made out of pure copper? (1 mark)
-Because it is too soft so will corrode
3 (c) (iii)). Aluminium Oxide
3 (c) (iv). How can the reaction produce two different products? (1 mark)
-Made using
