Erin Bolton Chemistry Lab Report April 29‚ 2015 Lab: Reaction Rates Introduction: In this experiment we studied the reaction of potassium persulfate‚ K2S2O8‚ with potassium iodide‚ KI. All chemical reactions have an energy barrier to overcome before the reaction will proceed. We will record data based on the concentration‚ temperature and catalyst for each experiment. Once this has been completed it will be graphed. Procedure: Due to the chemicals being used having hazard gloves are used

Purpose: The purpose of the ‘Rates of Reactions’ lab is to learn how to plan an investigative lab without outside help and to learn about the ‘Rates of Reactions’. This lab will require students to take responsibility for their own learning and use their prior knowledge to aid in the completion of this lab. In the lab prepared below‚ students will be learning about Rates of Reaction with varying concentrations of Alka-Seltzer with water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more water added to the canister

The Effect of pH on Enzymatic Reaction Rate Abstract Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value— the point where the enzyme is most active—is known as the optimum pH. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of pH reaction rate on an enzyme‚ catalase‚ from yeast. The experimental results indicate that the catalase worked best at a neutral pH level of seven (7). Introduction An enzyme is a protein molecule that serves as a catalyst. “The basic function of

- low value for current passing Strong bases : group 1 hydroxides (ie NaOH etc)‚ or lower group 2 hydroxides Ba(OH)2. - good conductors Weak bases : NH3‚ CH3CH2NH2. - poor conductors Reaction rates Similarly‚ the rate of reaction will reveal the strength of an acid. The rate of a chemical reaction is usually proportional to the concentration of the reactants. As it is the hydrogen ions that

An investigation to compare the reaction rates between potato and hydrogen peroxide against liver and hydrogen peroxide through loss in mass. Background information: Catalase is an enzyme that is found in all cells. This means that it is an intracellular enzyme. And enzyme is a biological catalyst. A catalyst is some thing that speeds up a reaction without being changed itself. Because of this enzymes and catalysts can be used again and again. Enzymes are protein chains that have a primary‚ secondary

≪Propose a reaction mechanism using the criteria presented in the lesson‚ with the third step as the rate-determining step. Hypothetical reaction: A + 2B + 4C ---> 2D + E The rate law has been determined to be [B]^1[C]^2≫ I had prepared the material below before I received your criteria. As you know‚ each step in a reaction mechanism is an elementary step. Each step is characterized by its molecularity. A step could be unimolecular‚ as in A → B or A → B + C It could be bimolecular as in 2A → B +

The hypothesis was supported by graph 3 and 6 which both showed that an increase in concentration of the reacting species resulted in an increase in reaction rate. Both graphs have a positive gradient which clearly indicates that concentration increases the reaction rate. The hypothesis also proposed that as temperature increases the speed of the reaction would decrease‚ this is evidenced in graph 7 which shows a negative decrease in time as the temperature of the solution increases. This decrease can

area on the Rate of Reaction? By : 22/10/2013 The effect of changing the surface area on the rate of reaction? Unit Question: Should we speed things up or slow them down? Hypothesis: According to collision theory‚ should the surface area increase the amount of collisions increase increasing the rate of reaction. Therefore‚ my hypothesis is that when the surface area increases the rate of reaction increases
