HOW FAST ARE CHEMICAL REACTIONS? THEORY The study of reaction rates‚ how fast or how slow a reaction takes place‚ is known as chemical kinetics. The rate of chemical reactions varies greatly. Some reactions‚ such as the explosion of an atom bomb are uncontrollable. Reactions like the decay of radioactive carbon (14C) are so slow that it takes centuries to see any noticeable change. Between the two extremes are reactions that can be measured in the laboratory. There are several factors that

2.MATERIALS and METHODS 2.1. Nature of Reactants 2.1.1 We placed 3mL of 3 M HCl into each of 3 seperate test tubes. Next we added mossy zinc to the first test tubes‚ Sn granules to the second and Cu filings to the third and compared the rates of evolution of hydrogen gas in each test tube. 2.1.2. We mixed 3mL of 0.02 M KMnO4 and 2mL of 3 M H2SO4 in a test tube and stirred using a glass rod. Next‚ we divided the solution into two. We added 2mL of 0.03 M Na2C2O4 solution to the first half and

we can learn to observe physical properties of varying substances as well as to use chemical reactions to observe chemical observe the chemical properties of varying substances. In experiment #1‚ we were able to detect physical properties of the aluminum and copper sulfate simply by looking at the substances. We then combined the two substances to see if they would create a chemical reaction and test the chemical properties. After being combined‚ bubbles and gas were created and the color of the

research the chemistry behind a chemical reaction that is used in automobiles. Write a page that explains what the reaction is‚ where it occurs in the car‚ and what it does for the car. There are over one billion of cars around the world‚ getting people where they want to go. Therefore‚ automobile transportation became much more important in everyone’s daily life. Chemistry made the automobiles to work. The chemistry and chemical reactions used in many parts of the automobiles. The role of chemistry

The purpose of the lab was to find out the chemical elements based on the color of the flame that elements make by their reaction. The work we completed in the lab was testing the chemical effects of the flame from the chemicals. We tested different elements and wrote down our observations. I accomplished the knowledge of testing chemicals and making responses based on our observations.Electrons are the particles found in the chemicals that may be responsible for the production of colored light.

Lesson #1 Potential Energy Diagrams Aim: How can the process of a chemical reaction be illustrated? I. Potential Energy Diagrams = relationship between activation energy and heat of reaction for a chemical reaction 1. Activated Complex = temporary composite of atoms or molecules that will eventually form the products of the rxn. = highest point on diagram is potential energy of this composite

During the experiment‚ we made observations and possible explanations on why Copper(II)Chloride Dehydrate and Aluminum foil created a chemical reaction. The observations were made by using Copper Chloride‚ Aluminum foil‚ and Distilled water. Before the Aluminum

Introduction: A chemical reaction involves the breaking and forming of bonds in order to create the necessary energy required to cause movement. Each reaction is catalyzed (an increase in rate because of a present catalyst) by a specific enzyme. Enzymes are able to denature proteins‚ meaning that a protein loses its original shape by uncoiling‚ giving it a random‚ unstructured shape. The pineapple plant contains bromelain which‚ because of its unique characteristics‚ keeps gelatin from thickening

Chemical Reaction: Cold Packs CHM110 Chemical Reaction: Cold Packs Introduction Chemical reactions happen every day in a variety of ways. We will explore the science behind cold packs and the chemical reactions that happen at the molecular level. Furthermore‚ we will examine and explain what chemical bonds are formed‚ broken‚ or both. The product is a simple construct of two bags: one containing water (solvent) and the other a chemical compound called ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). In order to activate

Oscillating chemical reaction Aim: The overall reaction rate and concentrations of some reaction intermediates of certain chemical reactions oscillate‚ even in a homogeneous system. This phenomenon is commonly found in living organisms. These periodical variations occur when a feedback mechanism is available in which a product changes the reaction rate. In this experiment will produce oscillations in both time and space in the concentrations of cerium(IV) and cerium(III) in the BZ reaction. Use the
