Chemical Kinetics Lab Report

Chemical kinetics is a study of the speed of reactions when they occur. In order to determine how fast or slow the reaction is, we have to consider its reaction rate. The amount of molecules, which react to form products in a chemical reaction, determine the rate of the reaction. If a reaction has a slow rate, there would be a small fraction of molecules react to form products. On the contrast, there would be a large amount of molecules react to form products if the reaction rate is fast. Reaction rate of a certain chemical reaction in a given time is measured by the change of its concentration (molarity) over time (second). The concentration of reactants has a dependence relationship with the rate of reaction. The faster the reaction rate,
