Rate of Reaction Experiment Introduction : in this term in chemistry class I was learning about rate of reaction. As defined by the Britannica encyclopedia‚ a chemical reaction is a process where one or more substances (reactants) are converted to one or more different products because of the rearrangement of atoms of the reactants. For the reaction to occur‚ the particles must collide with each other and in order to succeed there must be enough energy for the collision because a collision with little

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

Experiment on Metals Aim-To find out which of these metals will be most reactive with hydrochloric acid‚and plan an investigation to test it out.The Metals given:Calcium‚Aluminium‚Iron‚Magnesium and Zinc. Prediction-I predict that the metal will be the most reactive with hydrocholoric acid is calcium because calcium is in Group 2 which is the alkaline earth metals in the periodic table and because calcium is at the extreme left side of the periodic table and as you go across a period‚the element

An Investigation into the Factors Affecting the Rate of the Reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid A chemical reaction is the process by which atoms or groups of atoms are redistributed‚ resulting in a change in the molecular composition of substances. The reaction rate is how quickly a reaction occurs and this can be affected by four different factors: ¡¤ changing the surface area of any solids involved ¡¤ changing the concentration of reactants in solution ¡¤ changing the temperature
Premium Carbon dioxide Chemical reaction Calcium carbonate
Carbonates react with strong acids to give off carbon dioxide and water. Marble is calcium carbonate and thus behaves in the same way: CaCO3 (s) + 2HCL (aq)  CaCL2 (aq) + H2O (l) +CO2 (g) In this experiment‚ I am going to see if temperature affects the reaction rate between marble chips and hydrochloric acid by timing the release of carbon dioxide in the reaction. I predict the higher the temperature‚ the faster the reaction rate. This is due to the kinetic theory. The more heat

Write down the aim of your Investigation. To investigate the effects of change in concentration on the rate of reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. Briefly describe your Preliminary Experiment and include your results. Explain how these results have helped you plan your main experiment (p8b). An increase in concentration will lead to an increase in the rate of reaction because there will be a greater number of particles per unit/cm3. The particles will be closer together and

Background Information about Investigation The rates of chemical reactions in industry are carefully controlled because ‘Time is money!’ So it is important that chemists can make reactions happen and make useful products as quickly as possible. However‚ sometimes chemists deliberately slow down reactions to avoid health and safety risks. Some reactions can go out of control and lead to large amounts of toxic or flammable gases being made too quickly. One chemical that is made industrially is sodium

Acid in the human stomach When people refer to acid they usually see it as a corrosive liquid that can dissolve metals or change the color of a substance. So they think of acid as a dangerous matter for the body and believe it can easily dissolve your skin. What I have previously listed are indeed properties of certain acids‚ such as Hydrofluoric Acid which can cause irreversible tissue damage if it comes in contact with skin‚ but not all acids are this strong. As a matter of fact what a lot of

Investigating How Concentration of Acid Affects the Reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Introduction ============ According to the collision theory temperature‚ concentration‚ surface area and catalysts all affect rates of reaction as shown in the diagrams below. Increasing any of these should increase the number of collisions and so increase the reaction rate up to an optimum point. Increasing the temperature causes the particles to collide with more
