Affecting Rate of Reaction Introduction Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)‚ is the most simple peroxide and commonly used in several household items such as toothpaste or as an alternative to bleach. However hydrogen peroxide it is a very dangerous substance when accumulated in large amounts. If that situation occurs this substance must be decomposed. But how can we decompose this reaction? Well it decomposes by itself very slowly (2H2O2(aq) -> 2H2O(l) + O2(g))‚ but that would take too long. This reaction can

This lab focused on three factors affecting reaction rates‚ temperature‚ surface area‚ and concentration. Our first experiment (table 1) looked mainly into the effects of temperature on the reaction rate. To see how different temperatures would change the reaction rates we had three flasks all containing varying temperatures of water(H20). One with cold water (4°C)‚ one room temperature (21°C)‚ and one with hot water (44°C). In each flask‚ we dropped one tablet of Alka-Seltzer‚ all within 0.008 grams

which more clearly displays the relationship‚ view Figure 2. The rate at which the reaction occurred for the 100% concentration is 1.45 mg/dL per minute. For the 50%‚ the rate was 3.05 mg/dL per minute‚ and for the 25%‚ the rate was 2.76 mg/dL per minute. As seen‚ the rate fluctuated from the lowest rate at 100% and the greatest rate occurring at 50%. As mentioned earlier‚ the Collision Theory states the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the number of collisions that occur. One way to

Add water to the acid to change the concentration to what you need. 3.Take note of the amount of water in the measuring cylinder. 4.Put the marble chips and hydrochloric acid into the conical flask. Replace the bung and start the stopwatch. 5.Once the decided amount of time has passed‚ take note of the remaining

The Effect of pH on Enzymatic Reaction Rate Abstract Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value— the point where the enzyme is most active—is known as the optimum pH. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of pH reaction rate on an enzyme‚ catalase‚ from yeast. The experimental results indicate that the catalase worked best at a neutral pH level of seven (7). Introduction An enzyme is a protein molecule that serves as a catalyst. “The basic function of
Premium Enzyme Chemical reaction Catalysis
The rate of a chemical reaction is the measure of change in concentration of the reactants of the change in concentration of the products per time. The rate of a chemical reaction is influenced by the concentration of the reactants‚ temperature‚ and the presence or absence of a catalyst. Through finding the time and concentrations of the reactants‚ it is possible to find the rate of reaction and k. To perform this experiment‚ you need two erlenmeyer flasks‚a timer‚ a LabQuest with a temperature

Abstract We performed two trials of nine different variables of reactions to determine what increases/decreases reaction rates. The variables we used are hot/cold and room temperature water‚ a equal mixture of HCL and water‚ A equal mixture of NaOH and water‚ either a whole‚ broken‚ or finely crushed Alka-seltzer tablet. The fastest rate average was at 0.04 s (finely crushed Alka-seltzer with room temp. water). The slowest rate average is 8.02 s (Alka-seltzer with cold water). Introduction

Diffusion of Hydrochloric Acid into Different Sizes of Agar Blocks Aim: Investigating the relationship between the diffusion and the surface area to volume ratio‚ with agar and hydrochloric acid. Research Question: How does the difference in surface area to volume ratio affect the diffusion? Hypothesis: As the area to volume ratio increases‚ the time taken for a complete diffusion will also increase. Background Information: Agar is a jelly like substance and in this experiment‚ agar
