investigating how the rate of reaction differs when we change the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid whilst reacting with Magnesium. The rate of reaction is explained by the Collision Theory. This theory explains how various factors affect the reaction rates and how chemical reactions occur. The 4 factors of the Collision Theory are: • Temperature • Concentration • Surface area • Catalyst I am investigating how different concentrations of acids affect the rate of reaction. However I must control

Summary This experiment will measure the rate of oxidation of iodide ions by persulphate ions to derive the rate law for the reaction. Starch will be added to the reaction to facilitate the measure of time during the reaction. The reactant solutions will contain (NH4)2SO4 and KI‚ represented as: (NH4)2S2O8 + 2KI -> I2 + (NH4)2SO4 + K2SO4 This can be simplified to: S2O82- + 2I- -> I2 + 2SO42- These equations can only be carried out and be visible after the iodine has completely

Chemestry Lab Rates of Reaction (Picture from: http://sciencespot.net/Pages/kdzchem.html) The rate of reaction is how fast or slow a reaction is completed. This is important for factories and chemists all over the world. What happenes during a reaction is atoms or molecules that collide and form new molecules. You can affect this rate of reaction with: temperature of reactants or suroundings‚ surface area of reactants‚ if there is a catalyst present‚ but in theis lab the concentration was changed

SODIUM gSodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na (from Latin: natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft‚ silver-white‚ highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals; its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature‚ but instead must be prepared from its compounds; it was first isolated by Humphry Davy in 1807 by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust‚ and exists in numerous minerals such

Design lab for the rate of reaction between Mg and H2SO4 Introduction: Increasing the concentration (in moles) of H2SO4 will increase the rate of the reaction when a ribbon of Mg is added to the solution. The rate of the reaction all depends on how strong the concentration of the solution is. Research question: Does altering the concentration of H2SO4 increase the rate of reaction when a ribbon of Mg is mixed with the solution? Variables: Independent Variable: The concentration of

Title: Effect of a Catalyst on Reaction Rate II. Introduction: The basis of the experiment is the enzyme; an enzyme is a biological molecule that acts as a highly selective catalyst. By combining with a substrate‚ an enzyme is able to create a new product that helps the body function. (Ex. Lactose/Lactase) A substrate is a molecule an enzyme acts upon‚ the two combine at an area called an active site. This active site allows induced fit which allows the reaction to occur and a new product to be

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

INTRODUCTION The lab introduced the relationship between reactants and products‚ and sought to discover which ratio of an acid and base reaction produced the most amount of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) without leaving leftover reactants. 5 varying amounts of bases were added to a constant amount of acid (10 ml) to better understand which ratio was the most efficient. RESULTS Data collected from the lab suggests that the ratio of acid to base that produced the most carbon dioxide gas (CO2) was 1:0.5
