Chemical Kinetics Factors Affecting Reaction Rate OVERVIEW Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment you will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: nature of reactants - particle size temperature concentration catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However‚ in order for the

In the United States‚ the crime rate is increasing each day. Although many may believe that only adults are executing this criminal activity‚ and that is entirely not true. Juvenile crime has been a problem in the United States for many years and is still a main factor to the growing crime rates in cities across the United States. Many factors of these adolescences lives contribute to their actions. Such as‚ drug use‚ their communities‚ their peers and also their families. Juvenile crime does

Chapter 6: Interest Rates The difficulty of these questions as seen by students will depend on (1) what was discussed in class and (2) how long students have to answer the questions. If time is not an issue‚ then many of the questions could be classified as EASY‚ but under exam conditions with time pressure‚ many might be regarded as being CHALLENGING. So‚ consider the amount of time students have when selecting questions for an exam. Note that there is some overlap between the True/False and the

TABLE OF CONTENTS CONCEPTS OF RISK AND UNCERTAINTY 1 Definition Economic Risk Economic risk is the chance of loss because all possible outcomes and their associated probabilities are unknown.Actions taken in such a decision environment are purely speculative‚ such as the buy and sell decisions made by speculators in commodity‚ futures and option markets. All decision makers are equally likely to profit as well as to lose‚ luck is the sole determinant of success or failure. 2 Definition of

RATE OF REACTIONS. The reaction rate (rate of reaction) or speed of reaction for a reactant or product in a particular reaction is intuitively defined as how fast or slow a reaction takes place. For example‚ the oxidative rusting of iron under the atmosphere is a slow reaction that can take many years‚ but the combustion of cellulose in a fire is a reaction that takes place in fractions of a second (right). Chemical kinetics is the part of physical chemistry that studies reaction rates. The concepts

Introduction The nation’s high unemployment rate is a result of a severe drop in demand for goods and services. It’s not a reflection of longer-term structural changes in the economy but rather cyclical changes in the economy. The demand for goods has been limited because of tight credit‚ decreases in government budgets‚ suppression of demand by consumers and foreign markets‚ and the inability by the fed lower interest rates. Even with the low level of interest rates the Fed is currently practicing a tight

CHAPTER 10 – 14.1 REVIEW For each number‚ determine the type of inference‚ state the assumptions‚ and answer the questions. 1. A random survey of 57 students was conducted to compare juniors and seniors employment status. Seven out of 18 juniors held a job while 16 out of 39 seniors held a job.

This investigation tested the hypothesis: The rate of osmosis will increase as the temperature increases 2x2x2cm cubes of potato were weighed and then placed into 100mL of 10% NaCl solutions for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the cubes were again weighed to determine the amount of mass that they lost/gained and thus get an indication of the rate of osmosis. The results collected showed that the rate of osmosis was highest in the 70°C solution and lowest in the 20°C solution
