QUESTION 5 (Start on a new page.)

Three experiments, A, B and C, are carried out to investigate some of the factors that
affect the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2(ℓ).

The balanced equation for the reaction is:

                                                 2H2O2(ℓ) → 2H2O(ℓ) + O2(g)

Identical samples of hydrogen peroxide are used in each experiment.

The conditions used in each experiment are summarised in the table below.

QUESTION 8 (Start on a new page.)

8.1       A piece of zinc (Zn) is placed in a test tube containing an acidified
                                    ─
          permanganate solution, MnO (aq). After some time, it is found that a redox
          reaction has taken place.

          Use the Table of Standard Reduction Potentials to answer the following
          questions:

          8.1.1        Write down the NAME or FORMULA of the reducing agent.                        (1)

          8.1.2        Refer to the relative strengths of the OXIDISING AGENTS to
                       explain why a redox reaction has taken place.                                (3)

8.2       A standard electrochemical cell is set up as shown below.

          8.2.2        In which direction will electrons flow in the external circuit? Choose
                       from 'Ni to Mn' OR 'Mn to Ni'.                                               (2)

          8.2.3        Calculate the initial emf of this cell.                                      (4)

          8.2.4        Write down the balanced equation for the net cell reaction taking
                       place.                                                                       (3)

          8.2.5        The concentration of Ni2+(aq) is now increased.

                       Will the reading on the voltmeter INCREASE, DECREASE or
                       REMAIN THE SAME?                                                             (1)
