HOW ARE REDOX REACTIONS DIFFERENT? Redox is the term used to label reactions in which the acceptance of an electron (reduction) by a material is matched with the donation of an electron (oxidation). A large number of the reactions already mentioned in the Reactions chapter are redox reactions. Synthesis reactions are also redox reactions if there is an exchange of electrons to make an ionic bond. If chlorine gas is added to sodium metal to make sodium chloride‚ the sodium has donated an electron

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

Chemical reactions are a part of everyday lives. Whether it is the burning of propane at a kitchen stove‚ or washing detergent reacting with dirt stains‚ chemical reactions are useful tools that have widespread applications. With so many reactions assisting our everyday activities‚ it is important that ways to optimise reaction rates are investigated. “Reaction rate‚ the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds… may be defined in terms of the amounts of the reactants consumed or products formed

Abstract “Reaction Time” is the interval of time between the application of a stimulus and the detection of a response and has been thought to differ based upon the effects of modality and warning signals. In the “Reaction Time” experiment a total of 24 students from the University of Cincinnati participated in an experiment consisting of two sensory modalities‚ audition and vision‚ which were combined with two levels of warning signal status. The two levels of warning signal status were signal

Week 10: Oxidation and Reduction Reactions: The Reactions of Copper Data: Part I: Preparing a solution of copper (II) nitrate Initial mass of copper wire: .520g Mass of copper wire after vigorously scouring: .518g Observations of Copper (II) ribbon mixed with HNO3: Solution turned green. Thick brown gas formed. Copper (II) bubbled vigorously. Cu (II) dissolved‚ solution appeared green/blue. After the addition of H2O a blue crusty precipitate formed. Part II: Synthesis of solid copper

affects its Fractional Loss of Kinetic Energy Research Question: What is the relationship between initial height of a drop and the fractional loss of kinetic energy in a bouncing ball? Introduction: When an object is held at a height above the ground‚ it possesses gravitational potential energy (Ep = mg∆h) that is directly dependent of the mass and height of which the object is positioned above the ground. When it is dropped‚ Ep is converted into kinetic energy (Ek = ½ mv2)‚ energy the

the cars I made for my project will go. This illustrates how if the car doesn’t have enough kinetic energy the car won’t go very far. According to my research‚ If work‚ which transfers energy‚ is done on an object by applying a net force‚ the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy(Kinetic Energy) which will make my car go further. This illustrates how if there is more potential energy than kinetic energy the car won’t go nearly as far as it could. According to my research‚ potential energy

There are four different types of chemical reactions decomposition reactions‚ single displacement reactions‚ synthesis reactions‚ and double displacement reactions. A decomposition reaction happens when a compound breaks into two or more elements or compounds. Generally‚ for decomposition reactions heat‚ energy‚ light or electricity is needed to separate the compound. In a single displacement reaction‚ a single

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 higher up a metal is in the reactivity series‚ the more reactive it is. In the experiment conducted‚ the three metals‚ magnesium‚ zinc and copper each had to undergo displacement reactions and reactions with water‚ oxygen and dilute acids‚ to arrange them in the order
