Determination of a Rate Law Megan Gilleland 10.11.2012 Dr. Charles J. Horn Abstract: This two part experiment is designed to determine the rate law of the following reaction‚ 2I-(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2H+I2(aq) + 2H2O(L)‚ and to then determine if a change in temperature has an effect on that rate of this reaction. It was found that the reaction rate=k[I-]^1[H2O2+]^1‚ and the experimental activation energy is 60.62 KJ/mol. Introduction The rate of a chemical reaction often depends

AP Chemistry 12/13/11 Round-Trip Copper Reactions Lab The purpose of this lab was to evaluate our skills of decanting a supernatant liquid without losing the solid and successful completion of a series of reactions. This was done through five chemical reactions involving copper. In this lab‚ elemental copper was put through five different chemical reactions in order to convert it into different compounds. By the end of the fifth reaction‚ the copper was back to its elemental state. In the

Constant of an Unknown Ester Hydrolysis Reaction Abstract The experiments to follow determined that the equilibrium concentrations of the reaction: ester + water ↔ alcohol + acid‚ are equal to 0.0363 moles of ester‚ 0.2852 moles of water‚ and 0.0268 moles each of alcohol and acid. Using this information the equilibrium constant was determined to be 0.06938. 1. Introduction In this lab the equilibrium constant‚ Kc‚ for the acid catalyzed reaction between an unknown ester and water

The reaction order‚ based on the rate law‚ was first order with respect to crystal violet and second order with respect to OH-. The rate law was as follows: Rate law = k [CV]1[OH-]1 where k equaled 2.61. In order to determine the reaction order with respect to crystal violet‚ the graph that described the relationship between ln[CV] and time (seconds) was Figure 2. Not only did Figure 2 generate a more linear relationship‚ but it had the highest R2 value of 0.992 than ([CV] versus time) and ([1/CV]

Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy 9/11/2014 Introduction: A chemical reaction often indicated by a transfer of energy measured in heat. By measuring this heat transfer in a constant pressurized environment‚ the enthalpy of the reaction can be used to infer certain information about a specific reactions reactants and products. The transfer of heat from outside sources in would be described as an endothermic reaction. Contrary‚ when a reaction releases heat out to its surroundings

Heat and Temperature Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same‚ but they are not.” Heat and Temperature‚ para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place

John Abarshi Mr Meinsma Chemistry December 14‚ 2010 Conductivity of Ionic solutions Introduction This lab report is about the conductivity of ionic solutions. In class we have been discussing wether all ionic solutions conduct equally well. If an solvent solution conducts electricity‚ then it must contain ions. So measuring the conductance of solutions can tell you whether the solutes in the solution are dissociated into ions. (Conductivity) Any type of solution‚ even ionic solutions‚ provide

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the reliability of the activity series of metals by testing in solution‚ confirming if the activity series was correct with its predictions. Hypothesis: It is predicted that the metals in solid form will displace metals in solution if located higher over the other within the activity series chart. Materials: 10 test tubes Test tube holder Metals in Solid Form 1. Aluminum 2. Iron 3. Zinc 4. Magnesium 5. Zinc 6. Aluminum 7. Copper
