Determination of a Rate Law and Temperature Dependence of a Rate Constant By Marvin Coleman March 7‚ 2011 Abstract: From the shown calculations & graphical analysis‚ the experimentally determined rate law is rate = K[I-].969 [H2O2].991 and the experimentally determined activation energy is 59.50 kJ/mole. Introduction: The rate of a reaction varies at different temperatures and reactant concentrations. In this experiment‚ the orders and dependence of the rate constant of the products

Reaction Rate Coursework Aim To see how the concentration of a reactant affects the rate of reaction‚ in this case sodium thiosulphate and acid. Scientific Background For a reaction to occur‚ the particles of the reactants must be colliding with each other with enough energy‚ the amount of energy needed for the reaction is called activation energy. Activation energy is altered by temperature‚ concentration‚ surface area of and the pressure on the reactants. Stirring the reactants also increases
