17
Q

Which catalyst is used in the hydrogen peroxide experiment?

A

manganese oxide

18
Q

How is the scientist able to retrieve the catalyst?

A

it is not used up in the reaction

19
Q

What is a catalyst?

A

substance that increases rate of reaction but remains chemically unchanged

20
Q

How do catalysts work?

A

provide an alternative pathway
percentage of collisions with enough energy is higher
more successful collisions

21
Q

Name an experiment that can demonstrate the effect of concentration on rate

A

disappearing cross experiment

22
Q

What is the disappearing cross experiment?

A

react sodium thiosulphate
solution with hydrochloric acid

23
Q

In the disappearing cross experiment, which solid is produced?

A

sulphur

24
Q

What is the equation for the disappearing cross experiment?

A

sodium thiosulphate + hydrochloric acid -> sulphur + water + sulphur dioxide

25
Q

In the disappearing cross experiment, what is the independent variable?

A

concentration of sodium thiosulphate

26
Q

In the disappearing cross experiment, what is the dependent variable?

A

time taken for cross to disappear

27
Q

In the disappearing cross experiment, what are the control variables?

A

volume of solution
concentration of HCl
temperature

28
Q

What does the disappearing cross experiment prove?

A

rate is proportional to concentration

29
Q

What is the magnesium and acid experiment?

A

reacting magnesium with hydrochloric acid

30
Q

Why does the cross disappear in the disappearing cross experiment?

A

sulphur is produced
in suspension - makes solution cloudy so cross is not visible under breaker anymore

A

mass and surface area of Mg
volume and concentration of HCl

34
Q

What is the equation for the magnesium and acid experiment?

A

magnesium + hydrochloric acid -> magnesium chloride + hydrogen

35
Q

What does the magnesium and acid experiment prove?

A

temperature is not proportional to rate

36
Q

What is the equation for rate of a reaction?

A

rate = collision frequency x percentage success

37
