QUESTION 5 (Start on a new page.)
During an experiment, hydrogen gas is produced from reacting 600 cm? of hydrochloric
acid of unknown concentration with a piece of magnesium ribbon at a temperature of
50 °C. The balanced equation for the reaction is:
Mg(s) + 2HC&(aq) — Mg(Cf)a(aq) + Ha(g) AH < 0
The hydrochloric acid is the limiting reagent, and the magnesium ribbon is completely
covered by the acid solution.
The following observation is made after 12 minutes:
The volume of hydrogen gas remains unchanged.
5.1 The average rate of the reaction given above is 15 cm*-min".
5.1.1 Define rate of the reaction. (2)
5.1.2 Give a reason why increasing the length of the magnesium ribbon will not
influence the results of above experiment. (1)
5.1.3. Calculate the concentration of the hydrochloric acid. Take the molar
volume of the gas at 50 °C to be 26 490 cm3.molt (8)
5.2 The experiment, is NOW, repeated. However, the magnesium ribbon is replaced
with an equal mass of powdered magnesium. How will this change affect the:
5.2.1. final volume of hydrogen gas produced? Choose from INCREASES,
REMAINS THE SAME or DECREASES. (1)
5.2.2 Fully explain the answer to question 5.2.1 in terms of the collision theory. (4)

flask at 100 °C. The reaction reaches equilibrium according to the balanced
equation below:
2NO(g) + O2(g) = 2NO2(Qg)
