CAIE IGCSE Chemistry 6.2.4 Interpret Data Questions

Read reaction-rate graphs by comparing gradients, identifying completion plateaus and predicting how changed conditions affect curve shape and final gas volume.

Exam points

  • use graph gradient to compare reaction rates at different times
  • deduce when a reaction finishes from a horizontal line on a gas-volume graph
  • interpret how concentration, surface area or dilution changes curve steepness
  • predict whether a changed reactant amount alters the final volume of gas

CAIE IGCSE Chemistry 6.2.4 Interpret Data Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

A student adds excess magnesium ribbon to 10 cm310 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} of 0.5 mol/dm30.5 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{dm}^{3} sulfuric acid.
The hydrogen gas produced is collected and its total volume is measured every 10 seconds.
The experiment is repeated with 5 cm35 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} of 0.5 mol/dm30.5 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{dm}^{3} sulfuric acid added to 5 cm35 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} of water using the same mass of magnesium ribbon.

Which line on the graph shows the results of the second experiment?
