  • Q2
    Why do smaller particles of a solid react faster than larger particles of the same solid?
    they have a lower mass
    they have a higher density
    they have a smaller volume
    they have a larger surface area

  • Q3
    Which has a greater surface area to volume ratio: 5g of large calcium carbonate chips, 5g of small calcium carbonate chips or 5g of powdered calcium carbonate?
    5g of small calcium carbonate chips
    5g of large calcium carbonate chips
    they all have the same surface area
    5g of powdered calcium carbonate

  • Q4
    Why is it important to control variables in a rate of reaction experiment?
    to ensure the experimental results are reliable
    to increase the reaction rate
    to decrease the reaction rate
    to change the outcome of the experiment

  • Q5
    Which of the following should be kept constant in an experiment investigating the effect of surface area on reaction rate?
    the surface area of a solid reactant
    the time taken for the reaction to reach completion
    the volume of gas produced
    the concentration of a reacting solution

  • Q6
    What will we have calculated if we divide the amount of product made by the time taken?
    rate of reaction
    temperature of the reaction mixture
    concentration of a reacting solid
    mass of reacting solid needed for the reaction to reach completion
    mass of catalyst added
