Explanation
Apparatus for measuring temperature and acid volume in gas evolution reaction
Steps:
- Identify variables: temperature affects reaction rate via kinetic energy; acid amount via concentration or volume.
- Recall experiment setup: gas syringe measures rate by volume over time; vary temperature with thermometer and acid volume with measuring cylinder.
- Eliminate irrelevant tools: balance for mass, condenser for distillation—not needed here.
- Select pair matching both variables directly.
Why D is correct:
- Thermometer measures temperature changes (per collision theory, higher temperature increases particle collisions); measuring cylinder quantifies acid volume for concentration control.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Balance measures mass loss, not acid volume; misses precise volume variation.
- B: No temperature measurement; balance irrelevant for liquid volume.
- C: Condenser unnecessary for open gas collection; cylinder too vague for specifics.
Final answer: D
