CAIE A-Level Chemistry AS 8.1.3 Experimental Data to Calculate the Rate Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

The factors affecting the rate of reaction between aqueous sodium thiosulfate and hydrochloric acid can be investigated. The ionic equation for the reaction is shown.

S2O32(aq)+2H+(aq)H2O(l)+S( s)+SO2(aq)\mathrm{S}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}^{2-}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})+\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{SO}_{2}(\mathrm{aq})

Which of the following can be used to investigate the rate of this reaction?
1 change of mass
2 change of appearance caused by formation of a precipitate
3 change of electrical conductivity

A

1, 2 and 3 are correct

B

1 and 2 only are correct

C

2 and 3 only are correct

D

1 only is correct
