Sodium hydroxide‚ also known as caustic soda‚[2][3] or lye‚ is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaOH (also written as NaHO). It is a white solid‚ and is a highly caustic metallic base and alkali salt. It is available in pellets‚ flakes‚ granules‚ and as a 50% saturated solution.[citation needed] Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water‚ ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide in air. Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries

before plateauing at 25 degrees. But the 3% took almost the whole 7 minutes to finish rising in temperature. So essentially‚ the higher the concentration of hydrogen peroxide‚ the faster the reaction will take place. Furthermore‚ the foam (water and oxygen produced by the potatoes catalase reacting with hydrogen peroxide) was a kind of indicator of how the reaction was going. It almost indirectly related to the temperature increase‚ because every time the temperature was rising there also seemed to

purpose of laboratory assignment 3 was to measure the rate at which a chemical reaction takes place. For the purpose of this lab we measured the rate a balanced oxidation/reduction reaction between iodine‚ hydrogen‚ and bromate ion occurs. The above reaction occurs slowly so we used a coupled iodine clock reaction to measure the rate of the oxidation/reduction reaction because it occurs much faster but is still dependent upon the other reaction. To accomplish this‚ two mixtures were prepared in separate

‘Kinetics’ is the study of chemical reactions. The speed of a reaction can vary depending on many variables such as the nature of the reactants‚ particle size‚ concentration and temperature. For a chemical reaction to occur‚ there must be a collision between reactants. The reaction rate is slower when the reactants are large and complex molecules because it takes longer for the molecules to combine together creating a chemical reaction. More than 2000 years ago‚ Democritus‚ who was a philosopher

Rates of Chemical Reaction II Pre-Lab Summary: First we will set up the experiment as shown in Figure 2‚ and then we will fill the trough with room temperature water and record the temperature and we will also add the room temperature water to the buret until it is about 10ml from the top. If there are no leaks in the apparatus‚ we will add 10ml of KI to 15ml of distilled water in a 125ml flask. We will swirl the flask so that it achieves room temperature‚ then we will add 5ml of H2O2 and quickly
