In class we decided that the rate of a reaction increases when there are more collisions or when the activation energy is reduced. We then determined that there were four ways to increase the reaction rate: increase temperature‚ add a catalyst‚ increase surface area‚ and increase the concentration of reactants. The objective of this lab was to experimentally show how temperature and surface area impact the rate of reaction‚ so only two of these methods were tested. The evidence indicates that increasing

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 to maintain a constant volume of 50mL. The dependent variable is the rate of the reaction. This will be indirectly

Given the evidence‚ it can be determined that a reaction will occur when reactants have a kinetic energy greater than the activation energy‚ this is a theory of collision theory. For example‚ in the first experiment‚ the test tube filled with 10 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide and had scoop of manganese dioxide‚ had a greater reaction than the other test tube. Which simply contained 10 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide. The factor that affected the reaction rate was that the manganese was seen as a catalyst

Enzymes lower the activation energy of chemical reactions but they themselves are not consumed or altered when doing so. These catalysts work best at optimum temperatures and pH’s. The temperature and pH at which the reaction occurs the quickest is the ideal condition for the enzymatic reaction. Alpha amylase converts starch into glucose and when starch is combined with I2KI indicator a dark purple solution forms. As the enzyme breaks down the starch the absorbency will decrease. The absorbency

Factors 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

out so that tubes containing a reaction solution of the Amylase enzyme and starch were simultaneously mixed. The reactions were then introduced to I2-KI‚ which stopped the reactions‚ at two minute intervals. Each of these trials was repeated three times to ensure proper accuracy. After concluding the reactions they were placed into a spectrophotometer (A580) for analysis. Graphing the values of the absorbance to time for each pH it was found that the rate of reactions in the neutral pH solutions were

Abstract Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the reactants’ activation energy. The goal of this lab was conducted to determine the optimal temperature for bacterial and fungal Amylases and evaluate how temperature affects the catabolic rate of enzymes. Enzyme reaction rate was measured using an Iodine test in which drops of starch solution with either fungal or bacterial Amylase exposed to different temperatures were mixed with Iodine. Iodine

After adding more manganese dioxide‚ the reaction occurred again. This time‚ the bubbles being formed were larger; intensity of (4).
