Determination of the Rate Constant for a Chemical Reaction Department of Chemistry Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the rate constant k‚ for hydrolysis of tertiary butyl chloride to tertiary butanol. The solvent system for this reaction is 45% isopropyl alcohol and 55% water. The rate of hydrolysis of t-butyl chloride is measured by the decrease in the concentration of this reagent with time. The rate of decomposition of t-butyl chloride must be equal to the rate of formation

interest rates. The RBA generally likes to keep inflation between the 2-3% mark‚ however‚ this may change as a result of international pressures. Generally‚ if inflation is seen to be increasing at a rate that is disproportionate to the health of the economy - or basically growing faster than it can sustain - then official rates may be raised to in order to reduce consumer spending and slow down the economy. Alternatively‚ if inflation is not increasing at a healthy rate‚ the official rate may be

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

Once Upon a Time by Gabriel OkaraOnce upon a time‚ son‚they used to laugh with their heartsand laugh with their eyes:but now they only laugh with their teeth‚while their ice-block-cold eyessearch behind my shadow.There was a time indeedthey used to shake hands with their hearts:but that’s gone‚ son.Now they shake hands without heartswhile their left hands searchmy empty pockets.‘Feel at home!’ ‘Come again’:they say‚ and when I comeagain and feelat home‚ once‚ twice‚there will be no thrice-for then

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

Diffusion is a way nonvascular plants can get water. It is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until they are equal. An example of diffusion is red food coloring. When you put food coloring in a glass of water the color will spread through the water until all of it is a red tint. This shows the molecules of the food coloring equally distributed in the area of the water. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where only the water molecules

VARYING EFFECTS OF ENZYME CONCENTRATION ON REACTION RATES OF MALATE DEHYDROGENASE CELL BIOLOGY 13 NOVEMBER 2007 Enzymes are biological catalysts. They are proteins that speed up reactions with low concentrations. These enzyme proteins are made up of linkages of amino acids. The links coil‚ and coil again forming a tertiary structure. This structure has a groove in it called an active site. The active site is

Generation Y. This can be clearly seen in the current labour market. For example‚ if the work is not living up to Gen Y’s expectations‚ they have the immediate intention to move to greater opportunities. However‚ Sunil et al. (2012) stated that turnover rate of employees in hotel industry is very high due to long working hours and low pay scale. Despite of this fact‚ people would prefer to work in other service sectors such as banks‚ Airlines and so on as there will be superior remuneration provided in

The aim of this experiment was to show the water potentials of young‚ old and damaged potatoes and different sucrose concentrations (0.15‚ 0.20‚ 0.25‚ 0.30‚ 0.35 and 0.50). It was expected that the potatoes would lose weight as the potatoes would have lower water potential when placed in a solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn

of this experiment is to find out and measure the effect of exercise on the respiratory system. I predict that whilst carrying out the exercise‚ the breathing rate will considerably increase from resting to working breathing rate. However due to the fitness of the volunteer this breathing rate could be different. As soon as the volunteer has stopped the exercise‚ I predict that the breathing rate will steadily decrease over a number of minutes until it gets back to resting breathing rate. I can justify
