Question 1 of 15

2. What happens if two particles collide with less than the activation energy

No reaction

The particles fuse together

The reaction only goes partway

The reaction still occurs but very slowly

Question 2 of 15

3. Explain how a catalyst works

A catalyst reduces the activation energy of the reaction

A catalyst increases the surface area of the reagents to increase the rate of reaction

A catalyst increases the concentration of the reagents by taking up water to increase the rate of reaction

A catalyst provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy

Question 6 of 15

7. What is meant by the term activation energy?

The maximum energy of the final product for it to be stable

The energy provided by the catalyst to allow a reaction to proceed

The energy released by the reaction

Question 7 of 15

8. Hydrochloric acid reacts with an excess of calcum carbonate in a flask. The volume of carbon dioxide given off is measured in a gas syringe. This is shown on the graph. How would the graph look different if the reaction was done with the same volume of acid, but with an acid which is twice as concentrated?

The line would rise more steeply, and finish at a higher level than the original, but how much higher would depend on whether the calcium carbonate were still in excess.

No change. Line would look the same.

The line would rise at the same rate, but finish at twice the height of the original.

The line would rise more steeply, and finish at a twice the height of the original.

10. Calcium carbonate reacts with an excess of hydrochloric acid in a flask. The mass of flask and contents decreases over time as the carbon dioxide escapes. This is shown on the graph. How would the graph look different if the reaction was done at a higher temperature?

Line falls more steeply. Levels out at a lower level.

Line falls more steeply. Levels out as same level.

Line falls at the same rate. Levels out at a higher level.

Line falls at the same rate. Levels out at a lower level (but still above zero).
