11. Rajiv investigates the reaction of zinc, Zn, and dilute sulfuric acid, HaSO.
Hydrogen, Ho, and zinc sulfate, ZnSO,, are made in the reaction.
(a) Write the symbol equation for this reaction
irl
(b) Rajiv:
‘+ puts 25cm’ of dilute sulfuric acid into a flask
‘+ adds 0.50g (an excess) of zinc powder to the sulfuric acid
‘+ assembles the equipment shown in the diagram

‘ask 25cm? of dilute sulfur
0.50 (an excess) of zinc powder
‘+ measures the total volume of hydrogen collected in the gas syringe every 10 seconds.

Rajiv repeats the experiment using the same quantities of zine powder and dilute sulfuric
acid.
He uses acid at a higher temperature
He does not change any other conditions.
‘Sketch a line on the graph to show the results of this experiment.
Label the line H.(8) Raj sopets the experiment a second time using the same quits of zinc and dite
He uses a lump of zinc instead of zine powder.
He does not change any other consitions.
The rate ofthe reaction decreases.
Explain why.
Use ideas about the particle model.

9 Sodium is in Group 1 of the Periodic Table.
‘Sodium reacts with chlorine to form an ionic compound.
This ionic compound contains sodium ions, Na’, and chloride ions, C!
Why is a sodium ion positively charged?
Circle the correct answer.
a sodium atom gains a proton
a sodium atom loses a proton
4 sodium atom gains an electron
a sodium atom loses an electron
