Rate of reaction — practice question

The student pours $4.0\text{ cm}^3$ of aqueous potassium manganate(VII) from the burette into apparatus A.
(a)[1]

Name the apparatus A.

(b)[1]

The student adds $25\text{ cm}^3$ of dilute sulfuric acid to apparatus A. Name a suitable piece of apparatus for measuring the $25\text{ cm}^3$ of acid.

(c)[1]

The student heats the mixture in apparatus A until it reaches $60\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. Name a suitable piece of apparatus to measure the temperature.

(d(ii))[2]

Plot the results within the grid.

(d(iii))[1]

Draw a best-fit curve.

(d(iv))[4]

Use the graph to work out the time at $25\,^{\circ}\text{C}$, extend your curve of best fit to find the temperature for a $180\text{ s}$ reaction, and suggest why an experiment at $70\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ is not carried out.
