    1. The document describes two experiments to investigate the rate of reaction between magnesium ribbon and two different dilute sulfuric acid solutions (G and H). 2. In each experiment, 50 cm3 of one of the acid solutions is added to magnesium ribbon in a flask and the volume of gas collected over 3 minutes is measured and recorded. 3. The results show that solution H reacts faster with the magnesium ribbon than solution G, likely because solution H is a stronger acid.

    1 You are going to investigate the rate of reaction between magnesium ribbon and two different
    solutions of dilute sulfuric acid, solution G and solution H. The acid is in excess in both experiments.

    Read all the instructions carefully before starting the experiments.


    

    Instructions
    You are going to carry out two experiments.

    (a) 
    Experiment 1

    ● Set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram.

    rubber connector
    clamp

    inverted 100 cm3


    measuring cylinder
    bung

    trough
    conical flask
    water

    ●  emove the bung from the conical flask and place one piece of magnesium ribbon into the
    R
    conical flask.
    ● Use another measuring cylinder to measure 50 cm3 of solution G. Pour solution G into the
    flask and replace the bung firmly. Immediately start the timer. Measure the total volume of
    gas collected in the measuring cylinder every 20 seconds for 180 seconds (3 minutes) or
    until 100 cm3 of gas have been collected. Record your results in the table.

    volume of
    gas / cm3

    [2]

    ● Empty the flask and rinse it with distilled water.

    (b) Experiment 2

    ●  epeat Experiment 1 using 50 cm3 of solution H instead of solution G.


    R
    ● Measure the total volume of gas collected in the measuring cylinder every 20 seconds for
    180 seconds (3 minutes) or until 100 cm3 of gas have been collected. Record your results
    in the table.

    Clearly label your graphs.

    (e) The average rate of this reaction can be calculated using the equation shown.

    volume of gas / cm3
    average rate =
    time taken / s

     or Experiment 1, calculate the average rate of reaction for the first 30 seconds of the reaction.
    F
    Include the units.

    rate = ............................

    units = ............................

    (f) Why, eventually, will no more gas be produced?

    (g) S
     uggest the effect on the rate of reaction of using the same mass of magnesium  powder
    instead of magnesium ribbon. Explain your answer.

    (h) Give one advantage and one disadvantage of using a measuring cylinder to measure the
    volumes of solution G and solution H.
