2 Figure 1.15 shows that both graphs level off at the same value. This indicates that the maximum volume of carbon dioxide collected at the end of reaction for both Experiments I and II are the same (that is, 120 cm3). This happens because the masses of the marble and the volumes of the hydrochloric acid used in both the experiments are the same.

6 The total volume of carbon dioxide collected in the burette is usually slightly less than the theoretical value. This is because carbon dioxide is in water. To overcome this problem, a gas syringe is used to collect carbon dioxide released during the experiment (Figure 1.13).

Conclusion: Graph (II) is steeper than graph (I). This shows that the rate of reaction in Experiment II is faster than the rate of reaction in Experiment I. Powdered marble is used in Experiment II. Thus, the rate is faster with powdered marble than with marble chips. Hence, we can conclude that the smaller the particle size, the larger the total surface area exposed for reaction and of reaction.

Discussion 1. Sodium thiosulphate, Na2 S2 O3 , reacts with dilute sulphuric acid according to the equation: Na2S2O3(aq) + H2 SO4(aq) Na2SO4(aq) + H2O(l) + SO2(g) + S(s)

Concentration

Discussion 1. Sodium thiosulphate, Na2 S2 O3 , reacts with dilute sulphuric acid according to the equation: Na2S2O3(aq) + H2 SO4(aq) Na2SO4(aq) + H2O(l) + SO2(g) + S(s)

The ionic equation is as follows: S2O32- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) S(s) + SO2(g) + H2O(l) The sulphur is precipitated as fine particles and causes the solution to turn cloudy.

Concentration

Discussion 2 As the amount of sulphur increases, the cross `X' becomes more and more difficult to see. Finally, the cross `X' disappears from view when a certain mass of sulphur is precipitated. Hence, the time recorded for the disappearance of the cross `X' is the time taken for the formation of a fixed mass of sulphur.

When the diameter of the bottom of conical flask increases, a greater amount of sulphur must be formed for the cross `X' to disappear. Conversely, if a smaller conical flask (for example, 50 cm3 volume) is used, the time taken for the cross to disappear will be shorter.
