8 Magnesium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid giving off carbon dioxide.

A student carries out experiments to find how the rate of this reaction is affected by changing
the temperature.

Each time, he adds a mass of 4.2 g of magnesium carbonate to excess hydrochloric acid at a
given temperature, and measures the volume of gas given off in one minute.

Fig. 8.1 shows the results of his experiments at six different temperatures.

Describe the differences between the two circuits and relate these differences to their
functions. [4]

(b) (i) Describe complete dominance using the terms dominant, recessive, phenotype and
genotype. [4]
(ii) Huntington’s disease is a rare genetic disorder causing deterioration in mental and
physical abilities. An allele for having the disease, H, is dominant over an allele for not
having the disease, h.

(a) (i) When an iron nail is dipped into copper(II) sulphate solution for a few seconds and then
removed, it is found to have a red deposit of copper on its surface. A redox reaction has
taken place.
Write ionic half equations for this reaction, and use these equations to illustrate a
definition of the term redox. [5]
(ii) The elements chlorine, bromine and iodine are in Group VII of the Periodic Table.
The lower the position of a halogen in this group, the lower is its reactivity.
Describe how you could show this experimentally.
Include equations for the reactions you mention. [5]

(b) (i) In the USA, large reserves of natural gas are tapped to obtain ethane.
Much of this ethane is used to produce ethene and hydrogen by the process of catalytic
cracking.
Write an equation for this process.
Give brief details of two uses for the hydrogen produced. [6]
(ii) Ethene is used to make the polymer poly(ethene).
