ANSWER
QUESTION 1
(a)
i.

When the concentration increase, more molecules are present, so, they will collide more.
As the concentration increase, the kinetic energy also increase when more collisions

ii.

occurs. Consequently, the reaction rate usually increases as the concentrations increases.
Increasing the temperature also increasing the average kinetic energy of its particles.
When the kinetic energy increases, the particles move faster and collide more frequently
and produce greater energy when they collide. So, the reaction rate will increases as the
temperature increases.

(b) Experiment to study the effect of catalyst on the rate of reaction

Title:
The reaction between sodium thiosulphate solutions and iron (III) nitrate is catalysed by different
transition metal ions. The catalysts used are copper (II) sulphate, nickel (II) sulphate, iron (II)
sulphate and cobalt (II) chloride.

(d)
Three industrial important of cyclopentane:
i.

Cyclopentane as a blowing agent in the manufacture of polyurethane insulating foam, as found in

many domestic appliances such as refrigerators and freezers, in replacing environmentally
damaging alternatives. There have many advantages such as little loss of cyclopentane during

ii.

foaming, low thermal conductivity of foam, low diffusion rate out of foam and good availability.
Cyclopentane is also used in manufacture of resin, adhesives, pharma intermediate and as a
gasoline additive as octane booster

Cyclopentane being halogen free compound is environment friendly with Zero-Ozone Depletion

iii.

Potential and thus is fast replacing Chloro Fluoro Carbon (CFC) applications in refrigerator and
thermal insulation.
