6.1 Initially, 4 moles H2(g) and 4 moles I2(g) are allowed to react in a sealed2 dm3 flask according to the following balanced equation: H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) ΔH < 0 The graph below shows the concentrations of H2(g) and HI(g) versus time during the reaction.

Learners use the reaction of MgCO3(s) with EXCESS dilute HCℓ(aq) to investigate therelationship between temperature and the rate of a chemical reaction.The balanced equation for the reaction is:MgCO3(s) + 2HCℓ(aq) → MgCℓ2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(ℓ)The results obtained are represented in the graph below. 5.1 Define the term rate of reaction. (2) 5.2 State TWO … Read more
