Rate of reaction — practice question

Catalysts speed up chemical reactions.
(a)[1]

Name the type of metals commonly used as catalysts.

(b(i))[1]

Deduce the volume of hydrogen formed in the first 25 seconds of the experiment.

(b(ii))[1]

Explain why no more hydrogen is produced after 50 seconds.

(b(iii))[2]

Draw a line on the grid to show how the volume of hydrogen changes over time when a catalyst is present. All other conditions remain unchanged.

(b(iv))[2]

Describe what effect the following changes have on the rate of the reaction: - The concentration of hydrochloric acid is decreased. - Large pieces of zinc are used. All other conditions remain the same.
