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

Class X Question 1: Chapter 1 – Chemical Reactions and Equations Science Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? Answer Magnesium is very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper to remove this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed into air. Question

or organic products. After all‚ agave comes from a plant so it must be healthy‚ natural‚ and great for us‚ right? As it turns out‚ this is not necessarily the case. In the past few years‚ I used agave syrup or nectar in several recipes before I heard some negative things about it. I have looked at where agave comes from‚ the chemical composition‚ how it is metabolized‚ calorie content and what it may be used for. Only now do I have a full grasp of the process it goes through to be used as a

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

Chemical Weathering is the process of disintegration or decomposition of rocks due to chemical processes. It alters the intrinsic properties such as chemical structure‚ composition and density of the minerals that the rock is made up of. A rock’s susceptibility to Chemical Weathering depends on the stability of the minerals in it. Rock is composed of minerals that are generally quite stable at the time of formation. When there is variation in the surrounding environment‚ some minerals tend to
