Rate of reaction — practice question

Hydrogen gas forms when zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid. The graph shows how the volume of hydrogen gas produced varies with time when excess zinc is reacted with $0.2\,\text{mol dm}^{-3}$ hydrochloric acid.
(a)[1]

Explain why the volume of hydrogen gas stays the same after six minutes.

(b)[1]

What volume of hydrogen gas was given off in the first two minutes of the reaction?

(c)[2]

On the grid, sketch the graph for the experiment carried out using $0.1\,\text{mol dm}^{-3}$ hydrochloric acid.

(d)[1]

Give the name of the salt produced when zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid.

(e)[1]

Which one of the following pH values could represent the pH of dilute hydrochloric acid? Circle the correct answer. pH 1 pH 7 pH 9 pH 13
