Exam points

  • Calculate relative rate as 1/time and report reciprocal-second units and suitable precision.
  • Draw a tangent at zero or a stated time and calculate its gradient from two points.
  • Derive rate units from the measured concentration, amount or gas volume divided by time.

9.3—The rate of a reaction from: i the time taken for a reaction question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Rhubarb stems contain ethanedioic acid. Ethanedioic acid reacts with acidified potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}, and decolorises the solution.

A student carried out an experiment using rhubarb juice as a source of ethanedioic acid.

The student used different volumes of rhubarb juice and a constant volume of manganate(VII) as shown. An indication of rate was calculated using 1÷t1 \div \mathrm{t}.
