Aim: This experiment will aim to show how the amount of substrate affects the rate of the reaction. Hypothesis: In this experiment I think the amount of substrate will simply increase the reaction. As I increase the surface area of the potato the gas given off from the reaction will increase. Therefore to sum things up‚ my hypothesis is when the Independent variable increases so will the dependant variable. Independent variable: - Surface area of potato Dependant variable: - Gas Controlled

The Rate of a Reaction The area of chemistry that deals with the rate or speed of chemical reactions is known a chemical kinetics. The word “kinetic” is derived from the Greek name kinitikos that means movement or motion. In the present context‚ the kinetic means the reaction rate or rate of a reaction that is defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or a product with time (M/s). Chemical reaction can be represented by the following general equation. Reactants Products It is very important

metal ion affect the rate of reaction in an iodide clock reaction with potassium peroxydisulphate ions? Background When peroxydisulfate ions (S2O82-) react with iodide ions (I-) in the presence of a starch indicator‚ they produce a dark blue solution. Reaction (1) S2O82- + 3I- I3- + 2 SO42- (peroxydisulfate ion) (iodide ion) (iodine ion) (sulfate ion) To determine the rate law for this reaction a series of changes in the concentration of peroxydisulfate

does‚ however‚ absorb energy as bonds are being broken to dissociate the weak acid. CH3COOH H+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq) approx 99% approx 1% Conductivity Any solution’s ability to conduct electricity is conditioned by the concentration of ions it contains. A strong acid has more ions than a weak one‚ and so it’s solution will be a better electrical conductor than a weak acid. The same goes for strong/weak bases. The conductivity may be measured using a power pack and two graphite

Introduction: Temperature - Is a measure of the motion of particles‚ increasing the temperature will cause the particles to move faster because the reactant particles have more thermal energy from the heat. When particles move faster‚ more frequent collisions will occur and the collisions are more violent. This should increase the reaction rate. This will result in the particles colliding more frequently and increasing the speed of the reaction. Also when they have more energy there will be more

Testing the effect of concentration on rate of reaction Plan: We are investigating the effect of nitric acid on calcium carbonate. We are doing this experiment‚ as we would like to understand the effect that acid rain has on limestone. We also want to understand how acid can have an effect on rate of reaction. The word equation for the reaction that will take place is: Calcium Carbonate + Nitric Acid Calcium Nitrate + Carbon Dioxide + Water The balanced symbol equation

sulfate solution of the electrolyte. In order for a chemical reaction to take place‚ the reactants must collide. The collision between the molecules in a chemical reaction provides the kinetic energy needed to break the necessary bonds so that new bonds can be formed. Thus‚ increasing the concentration of the anode‚ zinc sulfate‚ will increases the rate of reaction for oxidation because there are more zinc ions in the new concentration‚ which would also increase the collision between molecules.

Investigating the Effect of Concentration on the Rate of Enzyme Catalysed Reaction To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of enzyme catalysed reaction I must know all the factors that affect it in order to investigate in this. Here are all the factors: Temperature- Enzyme like it warm but not too hot. Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which speed up chemical reactions. They work most efficiently at the optimum point (37°C). If they are below 37°C they will work

Effect of Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity Biology For Majors October 4‚ 2012 Abstract We examined the reaction an enzyme has when its concentration‚ pH and temperature are altered. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH into different test tubes with the enzyme (sucrose)‚ and substrate (sucrose)‚ and we then inverted the tube. The higher pH produced more enzyme activity. Temperature effects enzyme activity by decreasing its stability when the temperature increases

solution of KMnO4 and H2SO4‚ the solution will turn colourless and it will take a specific time for the reaction to complete. By increasing the temperature‚ the time it takes (the rate) for the solution to completely change to colourless will be increased. Thus it can be said‚ that it is being hypothesized that an increase in temperature will cause an equal increase in the rate of the reaction. Method:1).
