If we used 30g of small marble chips rather than 1x 30g chunk of marble the rate of the reaction...

• The rate of reaction will decrease.

• The rate of reaction will increase.

• The rate of the reaction will be the same.

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

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
