reaction rates and concentration (research paper) By katie prestage what are reaction rates? The rate of reaction is the speed in which a reaction takes place. This can be measured by the rate in which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate a product is created. If a reaction has a low rate‚ it means that the particles are combining at a slow speed. If the rate is high‚ it means that the particles are coming together at a fast speed. For example‚ the rusting of iron through oxidation has a slow

Chemical Reactions Lab Objectives: 1. To examine a variety of reactions including precipitation‚ acid-base‚ gas forming‚ and oxidation-reduction reactions. 2. To identify the products formed in these reactions and summarize the chemical changes in terms of balanced chemical equations and net ionic equations. 3. To identify the species being oxidized and reduced in oxidation-reduction reactions and determine which species is the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Chemical equations represent

The Iodine Clock Investigation Introduction This is an investigation into the rate of a reaction and the factors that contribute to how fast a reaction will take place. Through the recording and analysis of raw data‚ this investigation also allows us to apply generally accepted scientific rules and to test them against results gained from accurate experimental procedures. Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the rate at which iodine is formed when the concentration

Properties of Chemical Reactions Ms. Whitty‚ Science 10 Fiona Adams‚ November 1st‚ 2012 Introduction Chemical reactions are a part of our daily lives‚ from rusting metal to making bread to leaves changing colour in the fall. A chemical reaction is the process that occurs when two or more substances combine to produce a chemical change. When a chemical reaction takes place‚ the change is indicated by one or more qualitative properties. The colour or odor could change‚ gas could be produced

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

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

is being released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. My lab partner and I had to determine the heat exchanged when solid magnesium hydroxide is mixed with solid citric acid‚ using a coffee cup calorimeter. Given that citric acid is soluble in water is the property that makes this reaction possible. The first law of thermodynamics and Hess’s law are also present within this experiment. Knowing the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions is also relevant. If the temperature goes down
