You are provided with the following: RR: a solution containing 0.2 M sodium thiosulphate (Na₂S₂O₃); SS: a solution containing 1.0 M hydrochloric acid (HCl); Distilled water; Plain paper marked M; Stopwatch. Procedure (i) Mark and measure 4.0 cm³ of solution RR and add to it 50 cm³ of distilled water. (ii) Place the beaker containing RR and distilled water on the paper marked M. (iii) Swirl the contents and add a drop of solution SS to the beaker. The contents of the beaker is then placed on the mark M on the plain paper. (iv) Switch off the stop watch when the mark M disappears. (v) Record the time taken for the letter M to disappear. (vi) Repeat the experiment using different data as shown in the following table.

(a) What is the purpose of the stopwatch in this experiment? 1 mk
(b) Write down the balanced chemical equation for the reaction occurring in the beaker. 3 mk
(c) Identify the precipitate formed in the reaction. 1 mk
((a)(i) Divide the solution obtained in (ii) into three portions. To the first portion, add a few drops of aqueous sodium hydroxide. To the second portion, add a few drops of aqueous ammonia. To the third portion, add a few drops of barium chloride solution followed by dilute hydrochloric acid. 15 mk
(d) Explain why the mark M disappears. 2 mk
(e) If the concentration of HCl was increased, how would it affect the time taken for the mark M to disappear? Explain your answer. 3 mk
(f) Calculate the initial rate of reaction in the first experiment (using the data from the table) in mol dm^-3 s^-1. 5 mk
