Cu-Zn voltaic cell used in the experiment. Zinc has higher reactivity and it is more likely to loss electrons. Thus‚ electrons flow from Zn electrode to Cu electrode. Copper stripe is the positive electrode. Zinc stripe is the negative electrode. Reaction happened on each terminal: Positive terminal: Zn-2e-→Zn2+ Negative terminal: 2H+2e-→H2 It is assumed that bubbles (hydrogen gas) will come out from copper electrode. It is assumed that zinc and copper stripes are pure. Classification of variables

Measuring Reaction Rate using Volume of Gas Produced By John Doe 23th October 2012 Introduction An essential element of chemistry is finding reaction rates. This is because chemists need to know how long a reaction should take. In addition to needing to know the rate of a reaction at any point in time to monitor how the reaction is proceeding. Many factors effect reaction rates‚ two shown above include temperature and concentration. Concentration affects the rate of reactions because the

How Surface Area Affects the Motion of a Falling Object Introduction During this investigation‚ varying surface areas of objects will be explored in a manner observing the motion as they fall. Most predominantly‚ this motion encircles speed. Speed is calculated from the formula below‚ and hence is directly proportionate to time taken when the distance travelled remains a constant. Speed = Distance/Time Surface area is likely to affect the time taken for an object to complete a descent‚ and

up the rate of reaction without itself being used up in the process. Enzymes provide an alternate reaction pathway by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. For two molecules to react they must collide with each other‚ however‚ they have to collide with sufficient energy. Sufficient energy means that between them they have enough energy to overcome the energy barrier to reaction. This is called the activation energy. Even though enzymes can alter the rate of reaction‚ they

factors of a chemical reaction affect the rate of reaction. This experiment focused on how temperature affects the rate of reaction for the reaction of alka-seltzer and water. The rate of a reaction is a value calculated to figure out how fast a chemical reaction occurs. There are three factors that can be changed that will affect the rate of a chemical reaction: surface area‚ concentration‚ and temperature. Temperature specifically affects the rate of a chemical reaction‚ because when the temperature

The Effect of the Concentration of Sulphuric Acid on the Reaction Rate with Magnesium Sarah Cain SCH 4UB Mr. Lankin April 1‚ 2009 Introduction The nature of the problem is to design an investigation that examines a variable affecting the reaction rate. In this experiment‚ magnesium will be reacted with different concentrations of sulphuric acid. The reaction is shown by the following chemical equation: H2SO4 (l) + Mg (s) → MgSO4 (aq) + H2

Factors affecting the rate of reaction between a metal and an acid The rate of a reaction can be measured by the rate at which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate at which a product is formed. The temperature‚ concentration‚ pressure of reacting gases‚ surface area of reacting solids‚ and the use of catalysts‚ are all factors which affect the rate of a reaction. Individual properties of substances also affect reaction rates. The scope of these properties is broad and there are few generalizations

affecting Rates of a Reaction (Kinetics) KINETICS DESIGN LAB Research Question: Does the concentration of Potassium Iodide (KI) affect the rate of its reaction with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (of a fixed concentration)? Introduction: There are several factors that affect the rate of a reaction. Some of them being Pressure (if the reactants are Gases)‚ Temperature‚ Presence of a Catalyst‚ Surface Area of the reactant‚ and Concentration. According to the Collision Theory‚ during a reaction‚ particles

effect of substrate concentration Hydrogen Peroxide H O (in %) on the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase (in 1/mean time). Prediction: As the substrate concentration (hydrogen peroxide) in % increases the rate of reaction in 1/mean rate increases until the solution becomes saturated with the substrate hydrogen peroxide. When this saturation point is reached‚ then adding extra substrate will make no difference. The rate steadily increases when more substrate is added because more of the active

The larger the surface area‚ means there can be more “paths” from the sides of the body that are capable of releasing this heat particles‚ and reaching thermal equilibrium faster. This is what happens when a hotter body is subjected to a colder one. Research Question: How does the surface area to volume ratio affect heat loss in organisms? Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the larger the surface area to volume ratio‚ the more heat will be lost and vice
