order of their reactivity based on displacement reactions‚ reduction of their oxides by hydrogen or carbon‚ the relative ease of decomposition of their compounds and reactions with oxygen‚ dilute acids and water. The higher up a metal is in the reactivity series‚ the more reactive it is. In the experiment conducted‚ the three metals‚ magnesium‚ zinc and copper each had to undergo displacement reactions and reactions with water‚ oxygen and dilute acids‚ to arrange them in the order of their reactivity

In this report‚ I will explain what Sulfuric Acid is‚ the health risks and hazards associated with it‚ the safety precautions that should be taken and how the spill should be handled. Sulfuric Acid‚ H2SO4‚ also commonly known as battery acid or vitriol‚ is one of the top products in the chemical industry‚ with 40 million tons produced annually in the U.S. It is a colourless‚ odourless and oily mineral acid that is soluble

Design lab for the rate of reaction between Mg and H2SO4 Introduction: Increasing the concentration (in moles) of H2SO4 will increase the rate of the reaction when a ribbon of Mg is added to the solution. The rate of the reaction all depends on how strong the concentration of the solution is. Research question: Does altering the concentration of H2SO4 increase the rate of reaction when a ribbon of Mg is mixed with the solution? Variables: Independent Variable: The concentration of

An experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction of the Enzyme Trypsin. Aim: This investigation was on the effect temperature has on the rate that the enzyme trypsin hydrolyses its substrate‚ a protein found in milk (casein). This investigation was conducted under controlled conditions‚ the temperature being the changeable variable. Trypsin and its substrate (powdered milk which is a source of the protein casein) were heated in a water bath. The contents of the two

was done by converting maleic acid to fumaric acid. This conversion was accomplished by applying a heat-catalyzed reaction on maleic acid diluted in distilled water and mixing it with HCl using a reflux set-up. A reflex set up is a distillation set up wherein the set up differed because it is inverted vertically. This was done in order to break the pi bond to allow the rotation about the remaining sigma bond since rotation about a pi bond is not possible. After the acid has been refluxed‚ a white

effect of substrate concentration Hydrogen Peroxide H O (in %) on the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase (in 1/mean time). Prediction: As the substrate concentration (hydrogen peroxide) in % increases the rate of reaction in 1/mean rate increases until the solution becomes saturated with the substrate hydrogen peroxide. When this saturation point is reached‚ then adding extra substrate will make no difference. The rate steadily increases when more substrate is added because more of the active

SN1 Reaction Notes Background and Application Substitution Nucleophilic First Order (SN1) reactions are one of the most common type of organic reactions. SN1 reactions can be used to make a wide variety of new compounds. In this experiment‚ t-amyl alcohol will be converted by a SN1 mechanism to 2-chloro-2-methylbutane.

hypothesis proposed that if a small amount of salt was added to the reaction‚ then it cause the rate of the reaction to speed up‚ but if too much salt was added‚ then it will instead decrease the rate of the reaction. The data revealed that no additional amount of salt was the reaction that had the highest rate. As shown previously in the data table‚ the first trial’s average reaction rate of 4.5 mL/min was higher than the other two reaction rates where salt was added for trial 2 and trial3‚ 2.125 mL/min and
