(iv) The rate of reaction in Experiment I is lower than Experiment II.

(v) The rate of reaction in Experiment II is higher than Experiment I because the
temperature of nitric
acid in Experiment II is higher than Experiment I. When the temperature of
nitric acid increase, the hydrogen ion from nitric acid and carbonate ions
contain more average kinetic energy thus moving faster and collide more
energetically. Moving faster causes the hydrogen ion to collide more with
carbonate ions that increase the frequency of collision. Besides, the hydrogen
ions and carbonate ions will collide more energetically thus more colliding ions
can overcome the activation energy needed for reaction. These two changes
increase the frequency of effective collision between hydrogen ion and
carbonate ions. Hence, the rate of reaction increase.

2. a) the time taken to collect 10 cm3 of gas in Experiment I is longer because the large
marble chips has smaller total surface area that slow down the rate of reaction.
the time taken to collect 10 cm3 of gas in Experiment II is shorter because the
