‘Kinetics’ is the study of chemical reactions. The speed of a reaction can vary depending on many variables such as the nature of the reactants‚ particle size‚ concentration and temperature. For a chemical reaction to occur‚ there must be a collision between reactants. The reaction rate is slower when the reactants are large and complex molecules because it takes longer for the molecules to combine together creating a chemical reaction. More than 2000 years ago‚ Democritus‚ who was a philosopher

2Fe+3 --> something + 2Fe+2 Equation 2: 8H+ + 5Fe+2 + MnO4- --> 5Fe+3 + Mn+2 + 4H2O Equation 3: 6H+ + 2MnO4- + 5H2C2O4 --> 2Mn+2 + 10CO2 + 8H2O Conclusion: Therefore the concluded reaction would be: NH3OH+ + 2Fe+3 --> N2O + 2Fe+2 This was obtained by using stoichiometry half reactions the product of that reaction was determined to be N2O. Some systematic errors could be if the wrong molarity was determined for the permanganate because then that would though off the calculations for the Fe+2 and

Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate constants‚ k1‚ for the methyl acetate hydrolysis reaction at 25 °C and 35 °C‚ as well as the overall activation energy of the reaction. Methods Methyl acetate was placed in an HCl solution‚ in which it reacts with water to form acetic acid over time. At each time interval‚ an aliquot of the mixture was removed for titration against NaOH to determine the concentration of the acetic acid produced. From the amount of acetic acid produced

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 increases the rate of reaction increases.

Some metals react with acids while others do not. In this experiment‚ students will perform 2 reactions: aluminum/zinc with excess 6M hydrochloric acid and aluminum-zinc alloy with excess 6M hydrochloric acid. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the atomic mass of each metal and the percent composition of a known mass aluminum-zinc alloy by determining the moles of H2 gas formed. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1 mole of H2(g) is produced for every 1 mole of Zn(s) 2. 2Al(s)

neutralization reaction Introduction: When an alkali neutralizes an acid‚ a salt and water are formed. Aqueous hydrogen ions (H+(aq)) from the acid react with the hydroxide ions (OH-(aq)) from the alkali‚ forming water. For hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide: H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) → Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) Hydrochloric acid Hydrochloric acid Sodium Chloride Sodium Chloride Sodium Hydroxide Sodium Hydroxide Neutralization is an exothermic reaction which means

was synthesis by reacting concentrated hydrochloric acid using nucleophilic substitution sn1. In the substitution reaction the Hydrogen in HCl protonated the alcohol group in t-pentyl alcohol and turned it to a good leaving group (H2O). a tertiary carbon cation was formed. a nucleophilic attach of the negative Cl- attacked the carbon cation forming t-pentyl chloride [7]. As the reaction proceeded‚ extraction and distillation techniques were used to get a pure product of t-pentyl chloride. The percent

performed to find the temperature change‚ heat of reaction‚ and enthalpy change for neutralization reactions. The temperature change was found by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature obtained. Heat of reaction is negative heat of solution. Heat of solution was found by using the formula qsolution = mCsΔT (m= mass; Cs= 4.184 J/g°C; and ΔT = change in temperature). The enthalpy change was found by dividing the heat of reaction by the number of moles of H2O formed. Procedure:

Sheep” we measured the temperature of the 10 milliliters of Solution 2. Then we dropped a ball of steel wool into the test tube and measured the temperature again. We stored the test tubes on the test tube rack to observe the next day. A chemical reaction did occur in the lab. There were a color change and an odor change that was observed on Day 2 of the lab. On Day 1‚ the liquid was clear and the smell was very strong. On Day 2 of the lab‚ most of the liquid was gone but the color was a muddy color
