Factors that Affect the Rate of a Reaction BACKGROUND: Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment I will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: * nature of reactants - particle size * temperature * catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However‚ in order for

Subject: Chemistry SL Title: Preparation of a salt (lead iodide) by using precipitation method. Aim: To produce 1.50 g of lead iodide‚ PbI2‚ assuming 100 % conversion‚ using 1.00 g solid potassium iodide‚ KI‚ and 0.1 M lead nitrate‚ Pb(NO3)2 solution of volume 30 cm3 and hence calculate percentage yield. Calculations: 2KI(s) + Pb(NO3)2( aq) —> PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq) Mass of PbI2 to be produced = 1.5 g Moles of PbI2 = = 0.003 Moles of KI = 0.003*2 = 0.006 Mass of KI = 0.006*166 = 1.00 g

up the rate of reaction without itself being used up in the process. Enzymes provide an alternate reaction pathway by lowering the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. For two molecules to react they must collide with each other‚ however‚ they have to collide with sufficient energy. Sufficient energy means that between them they have enough energy to overcome the energy barrier to reaction. This is called the activation energy. Even though enzymes can alter the rate of reaction‚ they

Affecting Reaction Rate Bob Jones Josh October 2‚ 2014 Period 3 Introduction: In reference to the collision theory‚ molecules act as small spheres that collide and bounce off each other‚ transferring energy among themselves when the collide. In order for a reaction to occur‚ there must be collisions between molecules. Through experimentation‚ factors are discovered that influence the reaction rates of chemical reactions include the concentration of reactants

investigate 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 aim for this investigation is to investigate the effects of varying the concentration of sodium thiosulfate solution on the rate of the reaction when reacting with dilute hydrochloric acid. It is hypothesized that as the concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution increases‚ the rate of the reaction will also increase proportionately. Variables The independent variable is concentration. This will be varied by increments of 10mL (10mL to 50mL) and distilled water will be added accordingly

An Investigation on the rate of reaction of the enzyme Catalase on the substrate Hydrogen peroxide. Plan Aim: To investigate the rate of the effect of Catalase on hydrogen peroxide. Introduction This investigation will be carried out to investigate the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase on the substrate hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which speed up the rate of reaction without being used up during the reaction‚ which take place in living organisms. They do this by

Introduction: This experiment was used to examine the hypothesis that: Osmosis is dependent on the concentrations of the substances involved. Diffusion is the passage of solute molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (Campbell & Reece‚ 2005). An example is ammonia diffusing throughout a room. A solute is one of two components in a chemical solution. The solute is the substance dissolved in the solution. The solvent‚ the other component‚ is any liquid in

Hypothesis: If I increase the concentration of NaOH from 0.5M to 1M‚ then I will see the temperature slope increase in the reaction with an increased concentration because with an increase of moles‚ the particles will be colliding more often‚ therefore increasing the probability that the proper energy and alignment will occur to create more collisions in the same amount of time. Methods: List of Materials: • 110 mL of NaOH at 1 M (10 mL per run) • 110 mL of NaOH at 0.5 M (10 mL per run) • 220 mL
