What happens? For many reactions involving liquids or gases‚ increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the rate of reaction. In a few cases‚ increasing the concentration of one of the reactants may have little noticeable effect of the rate. These cases are discussed and explained further down this page. Don’t assume that if you double the concentration of one of the reactants that you will double the rate of the reaction. It may happen like that‚ but the relationship may well

Discuss the effects of increased concentration in transport markets. Concentration ratio refers to the market share of the largest firms in an industry. For example‚ a 5 firm concentration ratio of 65% means that the 5 largest firms have more 65% of market sales. If the concentration ratio increased‚ then 1 or 2 firms may start to dominate the market and the firms will be able to exercise Monopoly power. (in UK legal definition of a monopoly is a firm with more than 25%) This is likely to cause many

Osmosis coursework Aim: To investigate the effect of different concentration of a sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and pear pieces of a given size. Define osmosis: Osmosis is a net movement of water/ solution molecules from a region of high concentrated area to a region of lower concentrated area through a semi-permeable membrane which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allot bigger molecules like glucose to pass through. The molecules

Introduction Enzymes are proteins produced by living organisms to speed up the rate in which chemical reactions occur. This process can happen fast‚ slowly‚ or stop the chemical reaction all together depending on the temperature‚ pH and concentration. Catalase is one of the most common enzymes. It is found in living organisms and is used to break down hydrogen peroxide. This must happen because hydrogen peroxide is considered toxic to cells in the body. However‚ when catalase is used it breaks

Total CO2 Evolved by Different Concentrations of Convollaria roots. Actual values are the graduated pipette readings. For CO2 evolved values‚ subtract the initial reading from the actual reading. This is the amount of CO2 accumulated over time. | Time (min) | Tube 1 | Tube 2 | Tube 3 | Tube 4 | | Actual | CO2 Evolved | Actual | CO2 Evolved | Actual | CO2 Evolved | Actual | CO2 Evolved | | (A) | (A-I) | (A) | (A-I) | (A) | (A-I) | (A) | (A-I) | Initial reading (I) | 0.05 | | 0

Investigating Vitamin C Background Vitamin C is found in green vegetables‚ fruits‚ and potatoes. It is essential for a healthy diet. The chemical name for vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is a good reducing agent and therefore it is easily oxidised. Methods for the detection of vitamin C involve titrating it against a solution of an oxidising agent. Where to start There are several oxidising agents that can be used and a commonly used one is 2‚6-dichlorophenol-indophenol or DCPIP

An investigation into the effects of sugar concentration on yeast activity Introduction: Yeasts are eukaryotic micro organisms belonging to the kingdom fungi. Yeasts live on sugars and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products. [James Mallory‚ 1984]When Yeasts are given water and sucrose they convert the sucrose into glucose then convert the glucose into carbon dioxide and ethanol following the following reaction: C₆H₁₂O₆ ( 2(C₂H₅OH + CO₂ [Brady Burkhart‚ Terrell Grayson and Eric Kimler

in weight Using different sucrose concentrations Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to estimate Osmolality of plants cells i.e. Potato and celery by converting the observed change of weight in different sucrose concentrations. The hypothesis assumes that the solute concentration of the plant samples would be indirectly proportional to the weight; there would be decrease in weight as the concentration increases. The independent variable in this experiment would
