1. (i) rate = increase in
= slope of graph;time
volume
initially/to begin with steeper slope / fastest rate / volume of gas/CO2
produced faster/quickly as concentration of HCl highest / OWTTE;
as reaction progresses/with time, less steep slope / volume of gas
production slows / rate decreases due to less frequent collisions
as concentration (of HCl) decreases / OWTTE;
curve flattens/becomes horizontal when HCl used up/consumed
(as there are no more H+ ions to collide with the CaCO3 particles);
Each mark requires explanation. 3 max
(ii)
less steep curve;
same maximum volume at later time;
half/lower H+ /acid concentration less frequent collisions/slower rate;
