Markscheme
ALTERNATIVE 1:
«k = » 1.25 «mol–1 dm3 s–1» ✔
«rate = 1.25 mol–1 dm3 s–1 × 0.60 mol dm–3 × 0.25 mol dm–3»
1.9 x 10–1 «mol dm–3 s–1» ✔
ALTERNATIVE 2:
«[NaOH] exp. 4 is 3 × exp. 1»
«[C5H11Cl] exp. 4 is 2.5 × exp. 1»
«exp. 4 will be » 7.5× faster ✔
1.9 x 10–1 «mol dm–3 s–1» ✔
Award [2] for correct final answer.
