Change in Precipitation Ramon Pena BIO101 February 14‚ 2011 Dr. Richard Steiner Change in Precipitation Introduction This experiment will take course during a 300-year-time -period simulation. This experiment will consist of two islands‚ Darwin Island‚ Wallace Island and take only into account the bird population of these two islands. The parameter will stay the same‚ except for one variable; precipitation. I will record how the precipitation changes the beak size of the bird population

Skills Determining the reactivity of various metals Testing Relative Oxidizing and Reducing Strengths of Metal Atoms and Ions By observing whether reactions occur between solid metals and metal ions in solution‚ you can determine the order of oxidizing and reducing agents according to strength. Question How can the presence or absence of a reaction provide information about the relative strength of oxidizing and reducing agents? Safety Precautions • Wear goggles‚ gloves‚ and an apron

STOICHIOMETRY OF GASOLINE. AN INTRODUCTION The internal combustion engines burn fuel to create kinetic energy. The burning of fuel is basically the reaction of fuel with oxygen in the air to form water and Carbon dioxide as the major end product . The amount of oxygen present in the cylinder is the limiting factor for the amount of fuel that can be burnt that is to say it determines the level of burning in our combustion engine. If there’s too much fuel present‚ not all fuel will be burnt and un-burnt

A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two compounds react in order to create two new chemicals. The two cations and anions switch places with each other which forms two new compounds. As an example AB+CC can switch to AD+CB. Both sides of these equations must balance out in order to be neutral. So any pairs of compounds (such as A+B) must have a total balanced charge. In this example A could have a charge of positive 2 (+2) and B could have a charge of negative

flask with an iodine crystal with a bromobenzene solution with a stir bar. Once the stirring began‚ the solution turned brown and over time began to lighten up. The color change to brown indicated that the reaction began and this is why an iodine crystal was placed in the solution. The reaction started to boil due to its own reflux so heat didn’t need to be applied. Next the anhydrous ether solution was added very slowly in a dropwise manner with a needle through the septum cap on the condenser. This

Introduction Nivaldo J. Tro describes kinetics as the study of how changes that occur in chemical reactions take place over time‚ and because of its vast utilization in a multitude of industries‚ it may be one of the most significant and fascinating aspects in the entire chemical world. One application of the study of kinetics can be applied to the determination of the rate of a chemical reaction involving a certain selection of chemicals (FD&C Blue #1 and sodium hypochlorite). The purpose of the
Premium Chemical reaction Reaction rate Chemistry
The rate of a chemical reaction is the measure of change in concentration of the reactants of the change in concentration of the products per time. The rate of a chemical reaction is influenced by the concentration of the reactants‚ temperature‚ and the presence or absence of a catalyst. Through finding the time and concentrations of the reactants‚ it is possible to find the rate of reaction and k. To perform this experiment‚ you need two erlenmeyer flasks‚a timer‚ a LabQuest with a temperature

concentration of a species can affect reaction rate in the determination of rate law and rate constant. 2. To determine how temperature affects reaction rate. Introduction Chemical kinetics deals with the speed‚ or rate‚ of a reaction and the mechanism by which the reaction occurs. We can think of the rate as the number of events per unit time. The rate at which you drive (your speed) is the number of miles you drive in an hour (mi/hr). For a chemical reaction the rate is the number of moles that

an endothermic reaction (heat is on the reactants side where the solid is). Increasing the temperature would result in stress on the reactants side from the additional heat. Le Châtelier’s Principle predicts that the system would shift towards the product’s side in order to alleviate this stress. By shifting towards the product’s side‚ more of the solid is dissociated when equilibrium is again established - which equates to increased solubility. Second‚ imagine an exothermic reaction (heat is on the

EXPERIMENT 4 TITLE Complex Formation and Precipitation. INTRODUCTION Precipitation is the formation of a solid in a solution as the result of either a chemical reaction‚ or supersaturating a solution with a salt resulting in solid material collecting on the bottom of the beaker (Housecroft & Constable‚ 2006). When the solution has been supersaturated by a compound and no more material can be supported by the solution‚ it considered as precipitate. Commonly‚ the solid will fall out of the
