CSEC Chemistry · January 2016 · Paper 2 · Question 1(e)

Experiment 6 was carried out using Solution X, which contained an unknown concentration of KIO₃. Using the reciprocal time calculated in Experiment 6, determine from your graph, the concentration of KIO₃ in this reaction mixture.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
