‘Kinetics’ is the study of chemical reactions. The speed of a reaction can vary depending on many variables such as the nature of the reactants‚ particle size‚ concentration and temperature. For a chemical reaction to occur‚ there must be a collision between reactants. The reaction rate is slower when the reactants are large and complex molecules because it takes longer for the molecules to combine together creating a chemical reaction. More than 2000 years ago‚ Democritus‚ who was a philosopher

How Enzyme Concentration can Affect Rate of Reaction The purpose of this investigation was to see how the concentration of an enzyme affected the rate at which a substance was broken down. We did this by using a white protein called casein. Casein is found in milk powder‚ it is a protein and used mainly as a binding agent in foods‚ because it is mad to proteins and joins to a phosphoric acid it belong to a group called the phophoproteins. In terms of in milk it is said to be healthier if it is

The aim of this experiment was to calculate the concentration of an unknown solution of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) by titrating it with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and to identify any possible sources of error. A colour change from pink to yellow signified the end of each individual titre as the NaOH had been neutralised. Experimental: Method: Firstly two solutions were prepared to show the colour of the Phenol Red indicator in acid and alkaline conditions. These colours were then used to determine the

Investigation into How the Concentration of a Reactant Can Affect the Rate of Reaction Aim To plan an investigation that allows me to measure the effect of increasing the concentration of a reactant on the rate of reaction. With the results generated‚ it is also hoped to draw accurate conclusions and explain the results using scientific knowledge. Introduction Some reactions are fast‚ for example neutralisation or burning magnesium in air to produce magnesium oxide. However‚ other reactions can be slow

Investigating The Rate Of Reaction Between Marble Chips And Hydrochloric Acid Planning I will use marble chips and different concentrations of hydrochloric acid and water to see how it affects the rate of reaction. I will use concentrations of 50cm3 using different volumes of water and acid. Introduction I am investigating how the rate of reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid is altered when the concentration is changed. This is the word equation for my investigation

KINETICS OF THE ACID DECOMPOSITION OF THIOSULFATE Aqueous solutions of thiosulfate‚ S2O32-(aq) are stable if neutral or basic‚ but decompose quickly when the thiosulfate is dissolved in acid according to the equation: Sulfur dioxide is a gas at room temperature‚ but is very soluble in water. Sulfur‚ a water insoluble solid‚ forms a colloidal suspension. As a result‚ the solution first becomes cloudy and then opaque. We can take advantage of the developing opacity of the reaction system to do a

investigate the rate of reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid. Just from looking at the aim of the investigation I already know that a salt would be formed because a carbonate with an acid forms a salt. In this investigation the substance that is formed is Calcium Chloride‚ Water and Carbon Dioxide. The symbol equation for this is: CaCo3  Ca2+ + Co32- Hcl  H+ + Cl- Add these all together to get CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) --> Ca++(aq) + H2O + CO2(g) The rate of reaction is just

This experiment is to show how much carbon dioxide is produced during the reaction between an acid (hydrochloric acid) and marble. Equipment: Hydrochloric Acid (20ml) - 0.5M‚ 1M‚ 2M Marble Chips (2g per test) Large Measuring Cylinder Plastic Bowl (3/4 full of water) Rubber Tubing Glass Conical Flask Stopwatch Method The first thing that we did was fill the plastic bowl with water. We only filled it up 3/4 of the way because otherwise the water displaced into

The Effect of the Concentration of Sulphuric Acid on the Reaction Rate with Magnesium Sarah Cain SCH 4UB Mr. Lankin April 1‚ 2009 Introduction The nature of the problem is to design an investigation that examines a variable affecting the reaction rate. In this experiment‚ magnesium will be reacted with different concentrations of sulphuric acid. The reaction is shown by the following chemical equation: H2SO4 (l) + Mg (s) → MgSO4 (aq) + H2
