a) Based on the trendline, determine what would happen to the time for zinc metal to fully react if
the concentration of sulfuric acid was to increase?

22. Laura is experimenting with a new process of producing aspirin. She wants to optimise the process
so that the reaction takes the shortest amount of time possible to produce the aspirin.
To do this, Laura performs six different experiments to see how different factors affect the rate of
reaction. Using identical amounts of all the reactants, Laura times how long it takes for the reaction
to complete under different circumstances. Her results are summarised in the graph below.

Use the graph to list the methods for optimising the reaction time from most effective to least
effective. Circle the best answer.
A. add a catalyst; add more reactants; increase temperature; agitate continuously; crush solid
reactants
B. increase temperature, add a catalyst; add more reactants; crush solid reactants; agitate
continuously
C. add a catalyst; increase temperature; crush solid reactants; add more reactants; agitate
continuously
D. crush solid reactants; agitate continuously; increase temperature; add more reactants; add a
catalyst

23. Sarah decided to see the effect of temperature on the reaction of magnesium metal with
concentrated hydrochloric acid, which follows the chemical equation:
Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq)  MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
To do this, she timed how long it took for all the magnesium metal to stop producing gas at
different temperatures. She also ensured the size and shape of the magnesium metal was always
kept constant as well as the concentration and volume of hydrochloric acid. Her results are
summarised in the graph below:

Temperature (C)

From this graph, deduce which of the following conclusions is most accurate. Circle the best answer.
A. The time taken for the reaction to complete increases linearly as the temperature increases.
B. The time taken for the reaction to complete decreases linearly as the temperature increases.
C. Increasing the temperature initially reduces the reaction time a lot but only reduces the
reaction time a small amount as the temperature gets higher.
D. Increasing the temperature initially has little effect on the reaction time but rapidly reduces the
reaction time as the temperature gets higher.
