The area of chemistry that deals with the study of reaction rates and their mechanisms is called chemical kinetics. Chemical kinetics also helps to define the condition in which the reaction rate can be reformed. Temperature, concentration and catalysts are factors that are considered to affect the rate of a chemical reaction. In this experiment, the objectives are to measure the rate of the decomposition of H_2 O_2 (Hydrogen Peroxide), with the presence of the catalyst KI (Potassium Iodide), determine the kinetic order of both reactants, and find the calculations for the activation energy of the reaction. The pressure above a mixed solution of H_2 O_2 and KI with numerous concentrations and temperatures were observed over four different trials …show more content…
Once the order of reaction is determined, the rate constant k can be calculated by the average of the rate constants from the trials at room temperature. The order of reactions tells which molecular components are present during the rate-limiting step of the reaction. The temperature of the reaction affects the rate constant. This can be seen from the Arrhenius equation for most reactions. As the temperature increases, the rate of the reaction also increases. The formula for this is, k = Ae-Ea/RT. The activation energy, Ea, is the minimum amount of energy needed for a specific reaction to occur, R is the gas constant and T is the Kelvin temperature. The last objective it to find the calculations for the energy of the …show more content…
For trials one and two, 10 mL of KI was place3d in a 20 mL syringe and hooked up to the fitted cork. The flask was then checked to make sure it was sealed, and the stopper was closed. To begin the experiment, the stir plate was turned on to 400 RPM and the KI was injected into the flask for the reaction and all data was captured in Logger Pro. A total of four trials were completed. The first trial was done using original stock solutions. The other three were performed at different starting concentrations of H2O2 and KI for each different trial. After all chemicals were disposed of down the house hold drain with running water, the calculations were done. Rate was calculated in Logger Pro, X and Y were calculated using Rate = [A]x[B]y for two similar trials divided over one
The temperature of the reactants: 60 50 40 30 20 10 Control Amount of peroxidase (10ml) Amount of hydrogen peroxide (20ml) Length of experiment (2min) Time between measurements (15sec) Equipment used Safety I will keep my safety goggles on at all times to prevent painful eye injury. Method For accuracy I am using six different temperatures and I will repeat the whole experiment twice. I will record my results in a table. I will then transfer those figures into two line graphs showing gas given off against time. Using these I can then work out the rates of reaction for both experiments and find the averages from the results.

Then we recorded our results in Table 7. Repeated steps, 9 to 10 for the remaining mixtures. We then tranfered tube 4 into a water bath of 37 ℃. After a minute or two, we 10 second window results and recorded the data into the data section.
AIM: Is to determine the kinetics of a pseudo first order reaction. THEORY The pseudo first order reaction is the reaction that is a second order but can be approximated to be first order under a special circumstances. In the experiment the kinetics of the oxidation of GSH by Cr (VI) is studied at neutral pH, which result in formation of glutathionyl disulfide.

The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by a particle in order to react. When a rate of reaction is improved, the likelihood of the collision of particles is higher and the energy at which they collide is increased. The importance of rates of reaction The rate of a reaction is the speed at which this reaction occurs. In different reactions, the rates are different. The two extremes are iron rusting - extremely slow - and an explosion - so fast you cannot tell what's going on!
I chose this because it is the easier to prepare and will provide the most accurate set of results. Equipment --------- Hydrochloric acid (5cm3) Sodium thiosulphate Paper with black cross on Conical flasks Goggles Water Pipette Measuring cylinder Method To provide fair accurate results it is important to ensure that the same printed cross is used for each experiment.
When engaging in this enzyme experiment, there were various steps that were involved in the process of breaking down starch that was present in the fungal and bacterial amylase. First let’s begin by defining what exactly is an enzyme? Well, an enzyme is a biological catalyst that is produced by a cell, thus allowing for these cells to speed up their chemical reactions. Enzymes are very important to us in our everyday lives, they are needed for all our body functions and can be found in our blood, intestinal fluids, the mouth, and stomach. (Vorvick, 2017). This experiment will help us determine if there is any correlation between optimal temperature and catabolization. In order for chemical reactions to occur, the enzyme must lower its activation energy

• Investigate the effect of temperature on the rate and use the results to find the activation enthalpy for this particular reaction.
This report discusses the effect of the reactants’ concentration on the rate of the chemical reaction. Based on the results and evaluations, it is proven that the reaction rate increases as the concentration of hydrochloric acid increases. The collected data has shown that the 2 M hydrochloric acid has a faster reaction rate than the 0.5 M acid, due to its larger volume of water displacement. In conclusion, the results obtained from the experiment support the hypothesis stated.
+ CO2 I also hope to find a certain pattern by devising formulas from my results. I can compare different temperatures and their rates of. reaction among each other, which should suit my prediction. Skill Area P :Planning Experimental Procedures Plan: For this coursework I plan to conduct a suitable experiment.
Rate of reaction of hydrogen peroxide decomposition- determined by volume of O2 released by each concentration.
Reactions occur when the particles of reactants collide together continuously. If they collide with sufficient energy, then they will react. The minimum amount of kinetic energy required for particles at the time of collision is called the activation energy and this theory is known as the ?collision theory?.
There are five factors which affect the rate of a reaction, according to the collision theory of reacting particles: temperature, concentration (of solution), pressure (in gases), surface area (of solid reactants), and catalysts. I have chosen to investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction. This is because it is the most practical way to investigate. Dealing with temperatures is a difficult task, especially when we have to keep constant high temperatures. Secondly, the rate equation and the constant k changes when the temperature of the reaction changes.
