reaction rates and concentration (research paper) By katie prestage what are reaction rates? The rate of reaction is the speed in which a reaction takes place. This can be measured by the rate in which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate a product is created. If a reaction has a low rate‚ it means that the particles are combining at a slow speed. If the rate is high‚ it means that the particles are coming together at a fast speed. For example‚ the rusting of iron through oxidation has a slow

Erin Bolton Chemistry Lab Report April 29‚ 2015 Lab: Reaction Rates Introduction: In this experiment we studied the reaction of potassium persulfate‚ K2S2O8‚ with potassium iodide‚ KI. All chemical reactions have an energy barrier to overcome before the reaction will proceed. We will record data based on the concentration‚ temperature and catalyst for each experiment. Once this has been completed it will be graphed. Procedure: Due to the chemicals being used having hazard gloves are used

factors affect the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction. How do these factors affect the chemical structure and properties of the enzyme. Many things can affect the rate of enzyme activity. The temperature of the enzyme‚ the pH of the solution‚ the concentration of the enzyme‚ substrate and the product. Also‚ another affector is the number of competitive and non-competitive inhibitors. As I cannot explain them all‚ I have chosen to explain the effect of temperature and also the effect of inhibitors

w The Effect of Changing the surface area on the Rate of Reaction? By : 22/10/2013 The effect of changing the surface area on the rate of reaction? Unit Question: Should we speed things up or slow them down? Hypothesis: According to collision theory‚ should the surface area increase the amount of collisions increase increasing the rate of reaction. Therefore‚ my hypothesis is that when the surface area

Problem Question: * What effect does temperature have on the rate of Diffusion? Hypothesis: If we put the antacid in hot water‚ then it will dissolve faster than in cold water or room temperature water. Material List: * One thermometer * 3 beakers (of the same size) * 3 antacid tablets * Cup of ice * Hot plate * Paper towels * Water Procedures: Step 1: Gather materials Step 2: Label the beaker #1‚ #2‚ and #3 Step 3: Fill each beaker with the same amount of

concentration of a species can affect reaction rate in the determination of rate law and rate constant. 2. To determine how temperature affects reaction rate. Introduction Chemical kinetics deals with the speed‚ or rate‚ of a reaction and the mechanism by which the reaction occurs. We can think of the rate as the number of events per unit time. The rate at which you drive (your speed) is the number of miles you drive in an hour (mi/hr). For a chemical reaction the rate is the number of moles that react

The Effect of Varying Temperatures to the Rate of Respiration of Bufo marinus Statement of the problem: At which environmental temperature‚ do toads have the highest respiration rate? Most animals obtain oxygen‚ which comprise 21% of the air‚ from the environment. Oxygen combines with hemoglobin of the blood to form oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin is transported to the tissues where oxygen is released and used for the metabolic functions of the animal. The functions produce waste materials‚ such

Changing the Rate of Reaction PART 1: PARTICLE SIZE Question: How does changing the particle size of marble (CaCO3) affect the rate of reaction when it is added to hydrochloric acid (HCl)? Hypothesis: If I change the particle size of marble to test how to change the rate of a chemical reaction‚ than the chemical reaction with the smallest marble particles will produce CO2 the quickest because the larger the surface area‚ the more place the hydrochloric acid will have to collide with the marble

EFFECT OF ROOM TEMPERATURE ON THE BURN-RATE OF A CANDLE BURNS Have you ever wondered whether a candle burns more quickly on a hot day‚ than on a cold day? Or is it the other way around? This science fair project was carried out to compare how quickly a candle will burn at different room temperatures. The experiment was done by measuring how much of a candle will melt in 30 minutes when placed in an environment with surrounding temperatures of 20°C‚ 25°C and 30°C. Hypothesis A candle in a colder

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver‚ ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm‚ and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation‚ this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was‚ the less oxygen gas collected
