Module 3: Kinetics of Chemical Reactions Introduction to Kinetics Chemical thermodynamics has answered the question “can a specified chemical reaction take place?” (i.e. is the reaction thermodynamically favourable?). • However‚ chemical thermodynamics hasn‟t answered the question “HOW FAST will a specified chemical reaction occur?” o Many thermodynamically favourable reactions are so slow (ex: metamorphic transformation of rocks‚ corrosion of marble sculptures owing to weathering) that they can

the rate of reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid. Just from looking at the aim of the investigation I already know that a salt would be formed because a carbonate with an acid forms a salt. In this investigation the substance that is formed is Calcium Chloride‚ Water and Carbon Dioxide. The symbol equation for this is: CaCo3  Ca2+ + Co32- Hcl  H+ + Cl- Add these all together to get CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) --> Ca++(aq) + H2O + CO2(g) The rate of reaction is just the

its two base components. So when Hydrochloric acid is placed into water‚ it splits into a hydrogen ion and a chlorine ion. The amount that an acid ionises depends on its strength (Tinnesand‚ n.d.). A strong acid ionises completely while a weak acid only ionises partially. Furthermore‚ the strength of the acid will also have an effect on the rate of the reaction. A strong acid will have a faster reaction then

Investigating the Biomolecules found in Gelatin Abstract: For this inquiry lab‚ the research team tested the gelatin solution for the presence of biomolecules. The team searched for the presence of starch‚ glucose‚ lipids‚ and proteins through the use of indicators: Sudan III‚ Lugol’s iodine‚ Benedict’s solution‚ and Biuret’s reagent. After testing the gelatin solution in the presence of the indicators‚ the results showed that Lugol’s reacted‚ turning orange-pink (oils) and the Biuret reagent (protein)

Business 3.4 Internal constraints SWOT analysis SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used by business to determine their strengths‚ weaknesses‚ opportunities and threats Businesses need to consider the financial and practical implications of any marketing mix that they want to implement. Very few businesses are able to operate a marketing mix without considering the costs involved. Typically costs can limit a business’s marketing mix in several ways. Promotion The first internal

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)

RATE OF REACTIONS. The reaction rate (rate of reaction) or speed of reaction for a reactant or product in a particular reaction is intuitively defined as how fast or slow a reaction takes place. For example‚ the oxidative rusting of iron under the atmosphere is a slow reaction that can take many years‚ but the combustion of cellulose in a fire is a reaction that takes place in fractions of a second (right). Chemical kinetics is the part of physical chemistry that studies reaction rates. The concepts

types of forces involved. Two of the main forces experienced are called potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has depending on the position of it. For example the higher an object is the higher the potential energy is and the lower an object is the less potential energy it will have. Kinetic energy is also a main type of force that is involved with rollercoasters. Kinetic energy is the energy an object will have as it is in motion. There are many different types

momentum of the object over a long time D. Increase the momentum of the object over a long time 8. Most street barriers are made of hard rubber or plastic materials that easily give in or dent when hit. Why is this so? A. To reduce the vehicle’s kinetic energy when it collides with the barriers B. To store potential energy in the bumpers of vehicles C. To reduce the impact force when hit by a vehicle D. To reduce the impact time when the barriers hit the vehicle 9. What is the momentum of a 20
