i) To determine the rate of reaction at 12 minutes:
Step 1: Locate the point on the curve corresponding to 12 minutes on the time (x-axis).
Step 2: Draw a tangent to the curve at this specific point.
Step 3: Calculate the gradient (slope) of this tangent. The gradient, ΔTimeΔTotalvolumeofoxygen, represents the rate of reaction at 12 minutes.
ii) The production of oxygen in region A1B1 is faster than in region B1C1.
Explanation: In region A1B1, the concentration of reactants is higher, leading to a greater frequency of effective collisions between reactant particles and thus a faster rate of reaction. As the reaction proceeds into region B1C1, the concentration of reactants decreases, resulting in fewer effective collisions and a slower rate of oxygen production.
iii) The equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is:
2H2O2(aq)→2H2O(l)+O2(g)
c) i) A major source of nitrogen gas in the Haber process is air.
