SECTION A
Answer ALL questions in this section.
Write your answers in the spaces provided in this booklet.
1. (a) The catalyst manganese(IV) oxide can be used to alter the rate of decomposition of
hydrogen peroxide.
Jonathan carried out an experiment at RTP (room temperature and pressure) to deter-
mine the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide using manganese(IV) oxide as
the catalyst. He did this by measuring the volume of oxygen given off at different time
intervals. Water is also produced during the decomposition and the reaction is exothermic.
Table 1 records Jonathans results using manganese(IV) oxide and 100 cm3 of 0.80 mol
dm3 hydrogen peroxide.
Karen carried out a similar experiment to Jonathan using 100 cm3 of 0.40 mol dm3
hydrogen peroxide solution. Figure 1 on page 3 shows a graph of the data obtained by
Karen.

(iii) Using the same axes as the graph (Figure 1) on page 3, plot a graph of the volume
of oxygen against time using the data in Table 1.
The first three points have been plotted for you on the graph. ( 3 marks)
(iv) Compare the plots obtained from Jonathans and Karens results in terms of
the slope of the graph and the volume of oxygen produced. Account for the
differences between Jonathans and Karens results.
