Acid–base titrations — practice question

This question concerns chlorine-containing compounds.
(a)[3]

The equation below shows aqueous methanol reacting with hydrochloric acid. $\text{CH}_3\text{OH(aq)} + \text{HCl(aq)} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{Cl(g)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(l)}$ Describe a practical way to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid in a sample.

(b(i))[1]

Deduce the concentration of hydrochloric acid 4 hours after the experiment begins.

(b(ii))[2]

At which point on the graph, A, B, C or D, is the reaction rate fastest? Give a reason for your answer by referring to the graph.

(c)[3]

Describe and explain, using ideas about collisions between particles, how the rate of a reaction changes when the temperature is decreased. All other conditions stay the same.

(d)[1]

Describe the effect of hydrochloric acid on Universal Indicator paper.

(e)[1]

Name one metal chloride that does not dissolve in water.

(f)[2]
