Rate of reaction — practice question

With a catalyst present, hydrogen peroxide, $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$, breaks down into water and oxygen. A student compares the rate of this decomposition at two different temperatures.
(a(i))[1]

What property of oxygen gas lets it be collected in this way?

(a(ii))[1]

Name another item of apparatus that could be used to collect and measure the volume of oxygen gas.

(a(iii))[2]

Give a test and an observation that can be used to identify oxygen.

(b)[4]

Plot the results on the grid, circle the anomalous point, and use the plotted points to draw a curve of best fit.

(c)[4]

The student repeats the experiment at $50\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. On the grid, draw a second curve to show the results at this temperature and explain your answer.
