EXPERIMENT other 1 2a 2b 2c 2d 3a 3b 4a 4b 5a 5b
Followed procedure methodically
Experiment Made adjustments as necessary
Results are accurate - straight line graph
Table has lines within and round the outside
Clear recording of data with correct units shown
Recording of Start, end and mean temperature recorded in table
results
Time and rate (1000/time) shown in table
Data recorded to appropriate resolution
Rate on y axis, temperature on x axis
Suitable scales chosen to fit space
Graph Axes labelled with units
Points plotted correctly
Suitable best fit line
1 – Correct relationship
2 – Correct explanation of why temperature affects rate
Questions 3 – Correct explanation of why temperature has such a big effect
4 – Why use initial rate
5 – Why used 1000/time for rate
Thermometer = 2 x 100 x 1/lowest temperature
Measuring cylinder = 100 x 0.1/10 = 1%
1 cm3 syringe = 100 x 0.1/1 = 10%
Apparatus Stopwatch = 100 x 1/fastest time
uncertainties
Total = sum of the above
Each piece of apparatus listed
Clearly laid out
7 – Correct answer on resolution (i.e. syringe not good enough)
8 – Need to do repeats to improve reliability
Questions
9 – Sensible suggestion – better resolution for acid volume
