Step 1: Calculate the concentration of acid after adding water for each row.
The initial concentration of sulphuric acid is 2 M. The total volume of the solution after adding water is always 50cm3. We use the dilution formula M1V1=M2V2, where M1=2 M and V2=50cm3.
- For Volume of 2M H₂SO₄ = 30 cm³:
M2=V2M1V1=50cm32M×30cm3=5060=1.2moldm−3
- For Volume of 2M H₂SO₄ = 20 cm³:
M2=V2M1V1=50cm32M×20cm3=5040=0.8moldm−3
- For Volume of 2M H₂SO₄ = 10 cm³:
M2=V2M1V1=50cm32M×10cm3=5020=0.4moldm−3
Step 2: Calculate Time1×1000 (s⁻¹) for each row.
- For Time taken = 10.0 s:
10.0s1×1000=100.0s−1
- For Time taken = 15.0 s:
15.0s1×1000=66.66...≈66.7s−1
- For Time taken = 25.0 s:
25.0s1×1000=40.0s−1
Step 3: Complete the table with the calculated values.
The completed table is:
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Volume of & Volume of water & Concentration of acid & Time taken & \frac{1}{Time} \times 1000 \\
2M H_2SO_4 & added (cm^3) & after adding water (mol dm^{-3}) & (s) & (s^{-1}) \\
\hline
50 & 0 & 2.0 & 6.0 & 166.7 \\
40 & 10 & 1.6 & 7.5 & 133.3 \\
30 & 20 & 1.2 & 10.0 & 100.0 \\
20 & 30 & 0.8 & 15.0 & 66.7 \\
10 & 40 & 0.4 & 25.0 & 40.0 \\
