‘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

of the many chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms Enzymes are classified into several broad categories‚ such as hydrolytic‚ oxidising‚ and reducing‚ depending on the type of reaction they control. Hydrolytic enzymes accelerate reactions in which a substance is broken down into simpler compounds through reaction with water molecules. Oxidising enzymes‚ known as oxidises‚ accelerate oxidation reactions; reducing enzymes speed up reduction reactions‚ in which oxygen is removed

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

experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid (HCL) and Magnesium (Mg) in different temperatures. The products that will be formed are Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) and Hydrogen (H2). Prediction: I predict that as the temperature increases the rate of reaction also increases. To further explore the fact I further predict that the rate of reaction will double for every 10° C rise in temperature. I further predict as the temperature rises by 10° C the rate of collisions will also

Sodium Zeolite Softening Introduction Cation Exchanger Bead + + + + + - -+ -+ + + + + -+ + + - -+ -+ + - + + -+ Ion exchange is the process in which materials exchange one ion for another‚ hold it temporarily‚ and release it to a regenerating solution. These materials are widely used to treat raw water supplies that contain dissolved salts. Today‚ the most commonly used material is an ion exchange resin. Resins are plastic beads to which a favorable

Concentration The Problem In many colleges over 8% of the students report problems concentrating on their studies. Most of these students blame outside distractions for their problems. Many research studies manipulating noise levels and distractions have found that such disturbances may increase‚ decrease‚ or not even affect concentration. These researchers have therefore concluded that distracters don’t cause concentration problems directly. It is the way the distracters are interpreted

Osmosis investigation Aim: To investigate how sugar concentration affects the mass or size of a potato and find out the sugar solution. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane form a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal. This means that osmosis is like diffusion involving water molecules. Osmosis occurs across a partially permeable membrane‚ with holes

Modern methods of food production have altered radically from processes used in the past. Many food producing companies have invented their own improved techniques of cooking. Most of these procedures contain numerous different forms of chemical additives and one of the newest chemical substances that will enhance food flavor is monosodium glutamate (MSG). Even though it has no taste of its own‚ it intensifies considerably the taste of a wide variety of food as well as revealing flavors that could

How did the amount of Sodium Citrate‚ an anticoagulant‚ added to a Calcium Chloride solution affect the volume of the clots formed when a sodium alginate solution‚ a blood simulation‚ was introduced? Mackenzie Keesor (Fall Semester 2017-2018) Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to observe the differences in the formation of simulated blood clots when different amounts of sodium citrate‚ an anticoagulant‚ was added to the coagulation process‚ which would help gain information about the process

Prior to begin the experiment‚ preparation for some solutions is required to enhance the lab performance. The solutions needed are standardized potassium bromate‚ standardized sodium thiosulfate‚ and starch indicator. First‚ to prepare a starch indicator‚ pulverize 1g of soluble starch and add 15mL of water to make it as a paste-like substance. Dilute it with about 500mL of boiling water‚ and continue to heat until the mixture becomes clear. Cool it to room temperature and save it into a stoppered
