Interpreting data
Students in year 8 studied the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. The students set up 4 flasks in which the volume of hydrochloric acid and temperature were varied but the amount of calcium carbonate remained constant.

The volume of carbon dioxide produced was measured every minute and the results shown in the graph below.

1) Which flask produced the most carbon dioxide at 1 minute?
2) Explain why flasks "B", "C" and "D" produced less carbon dioxide than flask "A".
3) Irene was heard to comment "The experiment shows that the amount of carbon dioxide produced after ten minutes depends on the temperature." Is this correct?
4) What is the effect of temperature on the reaction?
