CSEC Chemistry · January 2008 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(ii)

A student investigates reaction rates using five KIO3 solutions of different concentrations (0.001 to 0.005 mol dm⁻³) and a fixed volume of Solution P (containing NaHSO3, dilute H2SO4, and starch indicator). The time for a blue color to appear is recorded using stopwatches, as shown in Figure 1.

Using the graph paper on page 5, plot the reciprocal of time against the concentration of KIO3.

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

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
