STATION 5

Two experiments which are conducted to investigate one of the factors that influence the rate of a
reaction.
Experiment 1

Time taken for all the zinc to

dissolve = 30 seconds
Reaction temperature = 35C

Experiment II

Time taken for all the zinc to

dissolve = 12 seconds
Reaction temperature = 35C

(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

___________________________________________________________________________
(b) What is the factor that influences the rate of the reaction?
____________________________________________________________________________
(c) Compare the rate of reaction in experiment I with that in experiment II.
Explain your answer based on the factor which affects the rate of reaction.

Station 3
Test Tube

Observation

Inference

White precipitate soluble in excess of sodium

hydroxide solution to produce a colourless
solution.

Pb2+, Al3+ or Zn2+ ions may be

present.

Zn2+ ions are present.

White precipitate soluble in excess of sodium

hydroxide solution to produce a colourless
solution.

The cation present in solution x is zinc ions.

Station 5
(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction.
Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + H2(g)
(b) What is the factor that influences the rate of the reaction?
Catalyst
(c) Compare the rate of reaction in experiment I with that in experiment II.
Explain your answer based on the factor which affects the rate of reaction.
1. Rate of reaction for experiment II is faster.
2. Copper(II) sulphate acts as the catalyst where it provides an alternative route

with lower activation energy for the reaction to occur

3. Hence, more reacting zinc atoms and hydrogen ions possess sufficient
energy to overcome the lower activation energy required for effective collisions.
4. Hence, the frequency of effective collisions increases and the rate of reaction
Increases.
