BThe marble chips have all reacted.[1]

The acid is in excess, so the marble chips are the limiting reactant. When they are used up, no more gas forms.

2

Cusing a larger volume of the same acid[1]

More acid of the same concentration has the same number of particles per unit volume, so the frequency of effective collisions is unchanged.

3
(a)

The volume of gas given off and the mass of the reaction mixture. [1]

(b)

A collision with energy greater than or equal to the activation energy, which leads to a reaction. [1]

(c)

A substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being chemically changed at the end of the reaction. [1]

(d)

Particles have more kinetic energy and collide more often, and more of them have energy greater than or equal to the activation energy. [1]

So the frequency of effective collisions increases. [1]

C2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)[1]

Pressure affects the rate only when a reactant is a gas. In C, the reactants are a solid and a liquid.

5

Cslower, and a larger volume[1]

Lumps of catalyst have a smaller surface area, so the rate is slower. Twice the mass of potassium chlorate gives twice the volume of oxygen.

6

When warmed, the particles gain energy and move faster, and more particles have energy greater than or equal to the activation energy. [1]

This leads to a higher frequency of effective collisions between the reacting molecules. [1]

7

A catalyst provides an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy for the reaction. [1]

This leads to a higher frequency of effective collisions between the particles, so the rate of reaction is higher. [1]
