GRAPH MAKING (PAPER 4)

1(b) A student prepared six vitamin C solutions of different concentrations. They added
drops of iodine solution until each concentration of vitamin C solution remained blue-
black.
The experiment was repeated three times and the average number of drops of iodine
solution added was calculated for each concentration.
Table 1.1 shows the student’s results.

(iii) Using the data in Table 1.1, plot a line graph on the grid of the percentage vitamin C
concentration against the average number of drops of iodine solution added.

(iv) The student was given a health drink, D. It took seven drops of iodine solution to
change it to a blue-black colour.
Use the graph to estimate the vitamin C concentration in health drink D.
On the graph, show how you estimated the vitamin C concentration.

2(c) (i) In a different experiment, students investigated the effect of pH on the


breakdown of hydrogen peroxide by calculating the rate of oxygen production.
Using the data in Table 1.1, plot a line graph on the grid to show the effect of pH on the
average rate of oxygen production.

3(b) In a study, the colour of the cap of mushrooms growing in different temperatures
was recorded. The colour was determined using the scale shown in Fig. 3.2.

The results are shown in Table 3.1.


(i) Plot a line graph on the grid of the data in Table 3.1.

4(b) Scientists investigated the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride


solution on the germination and growth of marram grass.
Marram grass seeds were germinated in Petri dishes on filter paper which had been
soaked in one of the different sodium chloride solutions. Each Petri dish contained 15
seeds and the investigation was repeated four times.
After 20 days, the lengths of the seedling roots were measured with a ruler.

(i) Using the information in Table 2.1, calculate the percentage decrease in the average
root length when the concentration of sodium chloride was changed from 4 g per dm 3 to
6 g per dm3.
Give your answer to three significant figures.
Space for working.

5(c) A student investigated the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride


solution on osmosis in potatoes.
The student used this method:
• Make four different concentrations of sodium chloride solution in separate test-tubes.
• Cut a piece of potato into five cylinders that are approximately the same length and
diameter.
• Measure and record the mass of each potato cylinder.
• Put one potato cylinder into a test-tube containing distilled water.
• Put one potato cylinder into each of the four test-tubes containing the different
sodium chloride solutions.
• Leave the potato cylinders in the test-tubes for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove the potato cylinders from the test-tubes.
• Dry the potato cylinders with a paper towel.
• Measure and record the mass of each potato cylinder.
(i) State the variable that was measured (dependent variable) in this investigation.

.................................................................................................................................... [1]
(ii) Using the information in Table 1.1, calculate the percentage change in mass for the
potato cylinder in the 0.8 mol per dm3 sodium chloride solution.
Give your answer to one decimal place.
Space for working.

............................................................ %[3]
(iii) Using the data in Table 1.1 and your answer to 1(c)(ii), plot a line graph on the grid
of the concentration of sodium chloride solution against the percentage change in mass.
One axis has been started for you.

(iv) Estimate the concentration of sodium chloride solution at which there would be no
percentage change in the mass of the potato cylinder.
Show on your graph how you obtained your estimate.
