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 from Greece suggested that matter is made up of tiny particles too small to be seen. He thought that if you kept cutting a substance into smaller and smaller pieces‚ you would eventually come to the smallest possible particles. The rate of a chemical reaction

reaction used to determine the experimental rate law of is 2I-(aq) + H2O2(aq) I2(aq) + 2H2O2(l). The rate law determined experimentally is rate= k[I-]1.017[H2O2]0.927. Additionally by performing essentially the same experiments but with temperature changes one can determine how k is affected by temperature changes and the new activation energy. Also‚ from graphs the activation energy was determined to be 33.3 kJ/mol. INTRODUCTION: The rate of a chemical reaction often depends on reactant
