activation energy for the iodine clock reaction Introduction: The iodine clock reaction is a presentation of chemical kinetics‚ which are the elements that affect the rate of chemical reactions. When the two colorless solutions are incorporated together‚ no reaction can be spotted. But after a short period of time‚ the solution turns into a dark blue solution. The term rate of reaction is stated as the decrease in the concentration of one of the reactions or the increase in the concentration of

Introduction What is chemical change? Chemical change is the alteration of a substance into one or more different substances with different properties (also called chemical reaction). The four different types of chemial reations are synthesis‚ decomposition‚ single displacement‚ and double displacement. Synthesis is when atoms and/or molecules combine to form larger molecules. Decomposition is when a large molecules are split into elements or smaller molecules. Single Displacement has an element

There are eight types of chemical reactions. These eight reactions are Decomposition‚ Composition‚ Acid/Base‚ Synthesis‚ Single-Replacement‚ Double-Replacement‚ Precipitation‚ and Redox. Though these eight could be referred to as the same due to them being chemical reactions. They are actually very different. An example of this difference is Decomposition and Synthesis. Decomposition is when a compound is broken into smaller chemical species while a Synthesis reaction is two or more chemical species

concentration of a species can affect reaction rate in the determination of rate law and rate constant. 2. To determine how temperature affects reaction rate. Introduction Chemical kinetics deals with the speed‚ or rate‚ of a reaction and the mechanism by which the reaction occurs. We can think of the rate as the number of events per unit time. The rate at which you drive (your speed) is the number of miles you drive in an hour (mi/hr). For a chemical reaction the rate is the number of moles that

Observations | Reaction Type | Complete and Balance | 1. When heated in oxygen‚ magnesium gives off a bright white flame. | combination reaction | 2Mg + O2-----> 2MgO | 2. Bubbling and fizzing occurs; the zinc appears to “dissolve” and what appears to be “steam” comes off out of container. | single-displacement reaction | Zn + 2 HCl (aq) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) | 3. Black smoke occurs | decomposition reactions | 2 (H2O2)(aq) MnO2 2 (H2O) + (O2) | 4. reddish-brown deposit

Endothermic and Exothermic reactions A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances are chemically changed into one or more new substances. A chemical reaction may involve the motion of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds. Therefore when a chemical reaction takes place‚ energy is transferred to‚ or from‚ the environment. A Chemical reaction can either be exothermic or endothermic. Exothermic Reactions During an Exothermic Reaction a transfer of energy to the

ON THE RATE OF REACTION Aim To study the effect that temperature and concentration of iodide ion solution have on the rate of iodide ion I⁻ oxidation by peroxodisulphate ion S₂O₈⁻‚ creating an iodine clock reaction. Introduction I decided to choose as the topic for my investigation the rate of reaction for its vital importance in the human body. Indeed I am really interested in Biology and especially physiology and I would like to study medicine. The rate at which different reactions happens in the

for the organisms by catalyzing various biochemical reactions. Most of these chemical reactions would not take place in the conditions available if the enzymes were not a present. Therefore‚ we can say that being involved as catalysts is the main and most important role of an enzyme in any organism. Furthermore‚ many reactions that are thermodynamically favored do not occur quickly because there is not enough energy necessary to start the reaction (1). This energy is called the activation energy and

This lab focused on three factors affecting reaction rates‚ temperature‚ surface area‚ and concentration. Our first experiment (table 1) looked mainly into the effects of temperature on the reaction rate. To see how different temperatures would change the reaction rates we had three flasks all containing varying temperatures of water(H20). One with cold water (4°C)‚ one room temperature (21°C)‚ and one with hot water (44°C). In each flask‚ we dropped one tablet of Alka-Seltzer‚ all within 0.008 grams

objective: In this experiment‚ I decided to find out how temperature would affect endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice and baking
