The kinetic theory of gases describes a gas as a large number of small particles (atoms or molecules)‚ all of which are in constant‚ random motion. The rapidly moving particles constantly collide with each other and with the walls of the container. Kinetic theory explains macroscopic properties of gases‚ such as pressure‚ temperature‚ or volume‚ by considering their molecular composition and motion. Essentially‚ the theory posits that pressure is due not to static repulsion between molecules‚ as

is 66 seconds. At 600C‚ the time taken for the permanganate to decolorize is 10s. The higher temperature of the reaction‚ the faster the time taken for the permanganate to decolorize. This is because the higher temperature implies higher average kinetic energy of molecules and more collisions per unit time. The rate of effective collision increases‚ the rate of reaction increases. As a result‚ the time taken for reaction decreases when temperature increasing. The graph shows that 1/T is decreasing

Enzymes are naturally occurring biological catalysts that are extremely efficient and specific. Enzymes accelerate the rate of a reaction by factors of at least a million as compared to the same reaction without the enzyme. Most biological reaction rates are not perceivable in the absence of the enzyme. The term enzyme was first used by a German pshysiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1897. There are over 700 different kinds of enzymes that have been identified. Enzymes can be classified into several categories

Enzyme Kinetics Marcos‚ Nelissa S. Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines ABSTRACT The rationale of the experiment is basically founded in the concept of reaction rates as affected by enzyme‚ and how the enzyme works is competed by a competitive inhibitor‚ thereby impeding the forward reaction. In this experiment‚ o-diphenol oxidase‚ an enzyme that causes the browning in fruits‚ was extracted from banana and reaction rate of this was established

Title Experiment 17 Reaction Kinetics- Determination of the Activation Energy of the Reaction Between Oxalic Acid and Potassium Permanganate. Objective To determine the activation energy of the reaction between oxalic acid and potassium permanganate. Theory and Background Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation or physical transport. In terms of the transition-state

Use the knowledge of kinetics to explain each of the following statements. a. An increase in temperature at which a reaction takes place causes an increase in reaction rate . An increase in temperature means increasing the energy of the molecules present. If the molecules has more energy ‚ then more of the them will collide often with enough energy ‚ to overcome the activation energy barrier. causing the reaction to proceed more quickly. b.An addition of the catalyst increases the rate at which

The word phosphorus is derives form the ancient Greek words phos‚ meaning light‚ and phorus meaning bringing. In nature‚ phosphorus occurs only in the oxidized form of phosphates‚ which are minerals in which each phosphorus atom is surrounded by four oxygens. In 1669‚ alchemy was medieval chemistry’s popular philosophy. It attempted to turn base metals into gold and searched for a mixture for lifetime. An alchemist from Hamburg‚ Germany‚ Hennig Brandt‚ fell onto phosphorus while heating residues
