Rates of Reaction G12

A solution of hydrogen peroxide releases oxygen slowly at room temperature.
 hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen
 The diagrams show the effect of adding blood to the solution. What could be the reason for the observed change? 

• Blood contains an enzyme. 
• Blood contains water. 
• The hydrogen peroxide becomes more concentrated. 
• The hydrogen peroxide is neutralised by blood. 

A liquid X reacts with solid Y to form a gas.
Which two diagrams show suitable methods for investigating the speed of the reaction? 

• 1 and 3
• 1 and 4
• 2 and 3
• 2 and 4

A student investigates the speed of the reaction between a lump of zinc and an acid at room temperature. Which other item of apparatus does the student need for this experiment?

In separate experiments, a catalyst is added to a reaction mixture and the temperature of the mixture is decreased.
What are the effects of these changes on the rate of the reaction? 

• A
• B
• C
• D

A student investigated the rate of reaction of calcium carbonate with dilute hydrochloric acid. Every minute, the student recorded the total volume of carbon dioxide produced, until some time after the reaction was complete.
