CSEC Chemistry · January 2020 · Paper 2 · Question 1(b)(i)

From the gas syringes displayed in Figure 1 on page 5, record the volume of gas produced in the appropriate spaces in Table 1. The volume at times 0, 5 and 6 minutes have already been recorded.

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.
