1 a 4 cm /s
b 0.030 g/s
c 0.00167 mol/s
2 a For particles to react with other, they must have enough energy and collide with each other. The minimum amount of
energy particles need is called the activation energy.
b The rate of a chemical reaction can be changed by changing concentration of solutions, pressure of gases, surface
area of solids, the presence of a catalyst and temperature
c A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction but is not used up .

A C
Time (s)
a surface area
b time or rate
c i temperature, concentration of acid, volume of acid, mass of calcium carbonate
ii changing these factors would affect the reaction rate
d 0.45, 3.3
e powder
f bigger the surface are, the lower the time
g bigger the surface are, the faster the rate
h bigger the surface are, the more particles that be involved in collisions, so there more are frequent successful
collisions
Area Strength To develop Area Strength To develop Area Strength To develop
Done with care and thoroughness Interpret progress graphs – gradient Link between size & surface area
Good SPG Interpret progress graphs – amount Link between surface area & time
Can calculate mean rates Calculate moles reacting in solution Link between surface area & rate
Gives units Identifies independent/dependent Can explain surface area effect
Knows basic rates theory Identifies control variables
