In the reaction represented by the equation 2H2S(g) + SO2(g) 2H2O(l) + 3S(s) A B C D both reactants are oxidized. both reactants are reduced. the two reactants are neither oxidized nor reduced. hydrogen sulphide is oxidized and sulphur dioxide is reduced.

35

Some crystals of sodium carbonate were added to an excess of sulpuric acid at room temperature. The volume of carbon dioxide produced was measured over a period of time. The results are shown in graph Y. The experiment was repeated and graph Z was obtained. Which one change was used to obtain the results shown in graph Z ?

A B C D

Acid of half the original concentration was used. A lower temperature was used. Half the amount of sodium carbonate was used. Larger crystals of sodium carbonate were used.

36

The dissolving of ammonium nitrate is an endothermic process. Which graph best shows the temperature change of the solution that occurs when ammonium nitrate is stirred with water until no further change in temperature is observed ?

37

In terms of particle theory, why do smaller pieces of solid react more quickly with a liquid than an equal mass of larger pieces ? A B C D There are stronger forces between the solid and the colliding particles. The solid has a larger surface area for particles of the liquid to collide with. The particles of the liquid collide with each other more frequently. The particles of the liquid do not have to break so many bonds in the solid.
