What is the equation for calculating rate of reaction?

• amount of reactant used divided by time taken

• amount of product formed divided by time taken

• Both these are correct

What does a horizontal (flat line) on a reaction graph tell us?

• Reaction in slowing down

• Reaction is speeding up

• Reactant has been used up

The following equation shows the reaction between calcium carbonate, CaCO₃ and hydrochloric acid, HCl:

CaCO_3(aq) + 2HCl_(aq) → CaCl_2(aq) + CO_{2 (g)­­} + H₂O_(l)

Which of the following is the suitable method to determine the rate of reaction?

• Change in the temperature of the solution with time

• Change in the volume of carbon dioxide gas with time

• Change in the mass of water with time

• Change in the concentration of hydrochloric acid with time

How does a catalyst work in speeding up a reaction?

• By lowering the activation energy or reaction

• by giving them more energy

• by making them more available
