QUESTION 5/VRAAG 5
5.1 5.1.1 (a) rate of reaction/reaksietempo (1)
(b) concentration/konsentrasie (1)
5.1.2 As concentration of Na2S2O3 (aq) increases (decreases), the time
decreases (increase)/rate of rxn decreases (increases).
Soos die konsentrasie van Na2S2O3 (aq) toeneem (afneem), neem
die tydsduur af (toe)/reaksietempo neem af (toe). (2)
5.1.3 1mol Na2S2O3 reacts with/reageer met 2 mol HCl
From/Vanuit : n= cV
(0,5)(VNa2S2O3) =(0,5)(VHCl)
n Na2S2O3 = n HCl
HCl will therefore be the limiting reagent as we need twice
the amount of HCl to react.
HCl is die beperkende reaktant omdat ons twee maal die
hoeveelheid HCl benodig. (2)
5.2 5.2.1 Experiment 6 highest temperature
Eksperiment 6 hoogste temperatuur (3)
5.2.2 If the temperature of the reaction mixture increases:
Average kinetic energy higher
More particles have sufficient kinetic energy to collide
effectively
The number of effective collisions per unit time/second
increases
The time lapse will decrease
Rate of reaction increases
As die temperatuur van die reaksiemensel toeneem:
Gemiddelde kinetiese energie hoër
Deeltjies het nou voldoende kinetiese energie om effektief te
bots
Die aantal effektiewe botsings per tydseenheid/sekonde neem
toe
Die tydsverloop neem af
Die reaksietempo neem toe (3)

oormaat anorganiese plant voedingstowwe (P en N)
