How Does Temperature Affect The Rate Of Reaction?
From the results that have been gathered, it tells a variety of different things. Each temperature attempt was done three times to be accurate. First of all, the hypothesis (the higher the temperature the faster the reaction will occur) has been proven correct and it proves the theory right. From the results, we can see this, as the iced water (10 degrees) had the slowest rate of reaction at 1.10 minutes. Then the room temperature water (19 degrees) was tested and had a slightly better rate of reaction at 1.09 minutes. Then last of all, we tested the boiling water (63 degrees) which had a large improvement from the last two with a rate of reaction of 43.5 seconds. This showing development in the rate of reaction in all three experiments and that the higher the temperature the faster the rate of reaction is.

The results were precise to the theory that if the temperature is higher the rate of reaction will be faster. But there is a reason that the rate of reaction

The majority of the results were correct but there may have been somethings that have gone wrong. The boiling water data seems really accurate as across the three attempts that were completed they were all really similar in the rate of reaction. The room temperature data appears to be accurate with only a difference of 6 seconds across the data which shows that this data is accurate. But now, the iced water data is accurate as there is only an 8 second difference across the three attempts. But when you look at the averages and compare the iced and room temperature experiments they are certainly similar and are nearly identical. Considering that there is a 9-degree difference in the temperature of the water, it is expected that there would be a far greater difference between the two. This implies that there must have been a mistake in one of the two experiments. Overall there were some basic mistakes but the data is still

    The experiment indicates some systematic errors with some of the equipment we used. For example, if we used more accurate thermometers the densities of the water and overall temperature of the water would become more accurate to the true temperature of the water, and decrease the percent error of the data. In my experiment, human error was very relevant. A systematic error also occurred in some of the readings because the water was still cooling down as the experiment went on causing the temperature to change which changed the density of the water. When calculating the density of the water I used -0.0030 g/ °Ccm3 in my calculations instead of -0.00030 g/ °Ccm3.…

    From the results recorded it was identified that activity A and C had exothermic reactions, whilst activity B had an endothermic reaction. Each of the activities had initially begun with 23.4/8/9oC, however, within one minute of adding the 2nd reactants, the results began showing, as seen from the graph. Activity A and C had risen in temperature, with A gaining 4oC and in total of 2 minutes having the temperature of 27.9oC along with C increasing by 2.2oC and within 2 minutes of the experiment having the temperature of 26oC. Activity B however was the anomaly in the test, as the temperature went lower, by 1.9oC as within 2 minutes, the Ammonium Chloride and water had the temperature of 21oC. Furthermore the line graph shows Activity A and C rising to its highest peak, although it eventually reduces. Activity A for example, was rising until it reached 27.9oC and it continuously decreased, until the 10 minute mark had reached having the final temperature similar to the initial temperature. A similar thing occurred to Activity C however, as its highest peak was 26oC (2 minutes in the test), and the final temperature having a 0.1oC difference from the initial temperature.…

    Due to the lack of literature value for the effects of temperature on the rate of the Iodine Clock Reaction, there was no final percentage error. However, Looking at Graph 1.6, the line of best fits clearly shows the low precision throughout this experiment resulting in an increase of Random error.…

    If the temperature was increased, the rate of reaction slows. If the temperature of the HCl was raised by 10°C, the activity will increase by 50-100%. This did not happen with the results shown in the chart above. Even small temperature changes such as 1-2°C can change the effect of the enzymes by 10-20%.…

    The steps in the lab were to first start off with a burner, ice and water in a beaker, then record time and water temperature. Also, some phase changes in between. Our results were immediate, leading to safe and what I hoped would have happened. The difference between my data and the class’s data would have been a different amount of time the water took to boil. My result did agree with my hypothesis. There has been an error in the measuring since…

    The project will involve the testing of three different water temperatures. One at hot tap water, one at cold tap water, and ice water. 1 cup of water at each temperature will be poured into the same glass, and have its temperature recorded. After doing so each water temperature will go through five trials with one Alka-Seltzer tablet being dropped into the glass each time, recording how long it takes for the tablet to dissolve.…

In terms of error, it gives plenty of opportunity for inconsistencies in the data. The inconsistencies could exist due to equipment, or understanding of the lab…

    When the water was at 10℃ the average rate of reaction was 1.75 mm/s. When the water was at 25℃ the average rate of reaction was 2.98 mm/s. When the water as at 37℃ the average rate of reaction was 3.45 mm/s. Finally, when the water was at 45℃ the average rate of reaction was 4.07 mm/s. Therefore, our data did support our hypothesis because we hypothesized that when the water rose in temperature the reaction rate would speed up, and so it…

    Torture continues to be a subject of great debate in this country. The question as to whether Torture is an acceptable and justifiable method to coax a confession from a criminal has been brought to the forefront by recent events, such as the September 11th and Boston bombing. Although there are laws established to punish criminals, the criminal must first be found guilt for punishment to be rendered as stated by the U.S constitution. However, using torture to coax a confession is in direct conflict with the rights given to the all people by the constitution, therefore, it should not be practiced to any extend. Torture violates the essence of our democracy by tearing away an individual’s rights and subjective them to cruel punishment, a clear violation of the 8th amendment. Advocated of torture believe that it is a…

    I predict the higher the temperature, the faster the reaction rate. This is due to the kinetic theory. The more heat that is given to matter, the faster the particles move. This happens in the acid, so the faster the particles move, the faster the reaction rate due to more collisions between the marble chips and the acid.…

To feel special and that the people around you need you are two important points, when talking about happiness and being content with your life. But before happiness and satisfaction comes survival. In society today survival is often connected with money. This sometimes means that you for a period of time will have to take any job offered to you.
