ABSTRACT
-------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------
In everyday life, several reactions are encountered, but still knowledge on how fast these occur and the factors affecting it were still insufficient. This study aimed to determine the different factors affecting the rate of reaction and how these factors affected it. An experiment named iodine clock reaction was done to answer the questions raised. In this study the reaction of iodide ion and peroxodisulfate (VI) ion was analyzed with the help of thiocyanate ion. The experiment was divided into three parts. First, second, and third parts of the experiment were used to examine the effects of the reactant concentrations, temperature and the presence of catalyst to the rate of reaction, respectively. The time before the reaction proceeded was recorded and calculations were done to obtain necessary information. It was identified that increasing the reactant concentration would increase the rate of reaction. Likewise, higher temperature increased the rate. Finally, the presence of catalyst had enormous effect on the reaction rate. It increased as the catalyst was added. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that said factors could increase the rate of reaction by increasing the temperature or reactant concentration or by adding a catalyst on the mixture.

    The experimentally obtained data collected for the reaction between IO3- and HSO3- at various temperatures is clearly supported by the Arrhenius equation. Referring to Graph 1.7, the line of best fits clearly passes through most of the data points displaying a linear relationship between temperature and the rate of the reaction. The R-squared of the graph which is a statistical measure of how close the data are to the fitted regression line is 0.9818. This number is extremely low which indicates that the data points are very close to the theoretically derived calculations.…

    Chemical Kinetics, described as the study of rate of chemical processes, varies on many factors to determine the time needed for a reaction to complete. The rate of reaction of a chemical reaction is important, as reactions are of little use if the time period needed for the reaction to occur is too lengthy. Many factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction, such as temperature, concentration and surface area. The order of the reaction is based on the concentration of the reactants, and is what this lab focuses on.…

    In the solutions A, B and C, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide used was the same. Therefore, these solutions are a suitable series for an examination of the dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of the iodide ion. Similarly, solutions C, D, and E have the same concentration of iodide ion. Therefore, those solutions can be used to examine the dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of hydrogen…

    One application of the study of kinetics can be applied to the determination of the rate of a chemical reaction involving a certain selection of chemicals (FD&C Blue #1 and sodium hypochlorite). The purpose of the proceeding experiment is to make such a determination, as well as determining the rate law for the reaction by establishing the rate constant and concentrations and reactions orders of the chemicals.…

    The purpose of laboratory assignment 3 was to measure the rate at which a chemical reaction takes place. For the purpose of this lab we measured the rate a balanced oxidation/reduction reaction between iodine, hydrogen, and bromate ion occurs. The above reaction occurs slowly so we used a coupled iodine clock reaction to measure the rate of the oxidation/reduction reaction because it occurs much faster but is still dependent upon the other reaction. To accomplish this, two mixtures were prepared in separate Erlenmeyer flasks. In the 250 ml flask .010M potassium iodide, .0010M Sodium thiosulfate and distilled water was prepared. A 125 ml flask was also prepared with a mixture of .040M potassium bromate, hydro chloric acid and…

    This experiment was done to determine the effects of the nature of the reactants, concentration, temperature, surface area and catalyst on the rate of chemical reactions. The nature of the reactants implies a difference if the reactants are aqueous or organic, acidic or basic or if they occur in the same phase or not. Acid-base reactions, formation of salts, and exchange of ions are fast reactions while reactions in which large molecules are formed or broken apart are usually slow. Generally, the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants, as well as to the temperature. Greater surface areas and addition of catalysts also increase the rate of chemical reactions.…
