Target Skills Determining the reactivity of various metals Testing Relative Oxidizing and Reducing Strengths of Metal Atoms and Ions By observing whether reactions occur between solid metals and metal ions in solution‚ you can determine the order of oxidizing and reducing agents according to strength. Question How can the presence or absence of a reaction provide information about the relative strength of oxidizing and reducing agents? Safety Precautions • Wear goggles‚ gloves

graph‚ you can see that there is a relation between the rate of reaction and the surface area. The larger the surface are‚ the faster the rate of reaction seems to be. However‚ although the grain with the largest surface area (the smallest grain) reached the highest point within the shortest amount of time‚ its end result was still lower then the medium sized grain. The explanation for this result is relatively easy. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the size of the surface

Hydrogen‚ interpreted from Greek as the water-creator (RSC site). Fundamentally it is by far the simplest element‚ yet it composes virtually all of the visible universe. Hydrogen is not merely omnipresent; in actuality‚ it is the oldest and arguably the most essential corporeality to the creation and sustainability of utterly all in existence. The aforementioned characteristic that hydrogen is immensely crucial to the survival of all lifeforms is supported by the fact that it is the building block

Introduction We are going to do an experiment to see how surface area effects the rate of reaction when added to hydrochloric acid. I will add calcium carbonate (marble chips) to hydrochloric acid. When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid a reaction takes place. The solution fizzes and gives off the gas carbon dioxide. I will collect this gas in a gas syringe and will time how long it takes for the reaction to produce 100cm3 of carbon dioxide. CaCO3 +2HCL Co2 +CaCl2 +H2O CalciumHydrochloricCarbonCalciumWater

The effect of increasing substrate concentration on rate of an enzyme reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower a reactions activation energy making possible many of the reactions needed for life to exist. Enzymes have a high specificity which have been explained by many theories such as Fischer’s lock and key. Currently the most widely accepted theory is the induced fit hypothesis proposed by Koshland in 1958. This hypothesis solves some of the problems with the Lock and key theory

Purpose Determine which kinds of reactions involve electron transfer as the driving force. Background Redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed. So‚ when a metal and a nonmetal react‚ there is an ionic bond formed‚ which means one of them loses electrons while the other gains them. Since this reaction involves the exchange of electrons it is termed as a redox reaction. The oxidation states in a metal- nonmetal are simple

non-spontaneous chemical reaction. During electrolysis‚ hydrogen atoms (H2) are reduced at the cathode whereas the oxygen atoms (O2) are oxidized at the anode. There were three different solutions used in the experiment in order to have a better understanding of electrolysis reactions. From each solution‚ reaction equations were produced. The reactions could be observed from the indicators used. The reactions showed that hydrogen ions were produced at the anode‚ making it acidic and hydroxide ions were produced

Effect of ions on living organisms (24 marks) An ion is a charged atom or molecule. This is because it does not have an equal amount of protons and electrons‚ therefore giving the atom an overall charge. An example of an ion is ‚ this is sodium and the plus sign represents an overall positive charge. Ions are very important to living organisms as they are essential for life‚ they play an important role within the cell allowing mechanisms within the living organisms such as respiration‚ to take
