Rates Of Reaction Investigation
Plan:
This experiment is planned to investigate the rate of reaction when
mixing Copper sulphate (CuSO4) with Zinc powder (Zn). My plan is to
see what happens before, during and after the reaction takes place.
I will need the following equipment to carry out this investigation:
Ø A 50ml marked measuring tube
Ø A digital precision scale
Ø 600ml of copper sulphate
Ø A digital thermometer
Ø A pot of Zinc powder
Ø A sandpaper (to sand the Copper sulphate off the thermometer)
Ø A pen and a paper (to record results.)
Ø A beaker (to mix the elements)
Ø A stirring stick
For the first preliminary results chart, the variable will be the
amount of Zinc powder but the copper sulphate solution will be 30 ml.
Step-by-step:
In order to get satisfactory results out of this experiment, you'll
have to follow carefully the step-by-step instructions:
i. Put a light plastic recipient on a digital precision scale.
ii. Reset the scale to zero.
iii. Put the amount of Zinc powder you need.
iv. If it isn't the desired quantity, then add or subtract some of
the Zinc powder.
v. Once it is done, then measure the amount of copper sulphate in
the 50ml marked measuring tube and adjust the desired amount.
vi. Pour the copper sulphate into the beaker and take its room
temperature.
vii. Then add the Zinc powder and start stirring.
viii. Leave the thermometer in the glass recipient and record its
highest reached temperature.
ix. Rinse and dry the beaker.
x. Repeat steps 1 to 9.
How I will make it a fair test?
Ø Their must be the same amount of either Zinc or Copper Sulphate
(depending on which I choose to be the constant and which I choose to
Determine the reaction order for Na2S2O3 using calculations described in the Background. Show your work. Note that your answer will probably not be an even whole number as it is in the examples.
For this experiment, you will add the measured amount of the first sample to the measured amount of the second sample into its respectively labeled test tube then observe if a reaction occurs. In your Data Table, record the samples added to each test tube, describe the reaction observed, if any, and whether or not a chemical reaction took place.
It is important however to note that the NH4 and K ions are still in
Investigating Rates of Reactions My aim is to investigate what factors affect the rate of reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. The factor that I will be focusing on is the concentration of Hydrochloric acid. [IMAGE]Reaction Equation: Mg (s) +2HCl (aq) = MgCl2 (aq) +H2 (g)
In this experiment there five different phases and in each a different factor of the Collision Theory was tested. The first phase was called, Nature of the Reactants and it had three parts to it. In the first part of it which was steps 1-4, 5 pieces of mossy zinc were put into 3ml of 2M H_2 〖SO〗_4 and during this time bubbles were produced. After a few minutes the zinc was removed from the acid and it was now clean zinc.
The Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate Introduction I will be carrying out an investigation into how concentration affects reaction rate. I will be looking at sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is represented by the following equation: [IMAGE]Na2S2O3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + SO2 (g) + S (s) I will add the hydrochloric acid to the Sodium Thiosulphate and time how log it takes for the mixture to turn opaque. I will use a different concentration of Sodium Thiosulphate each time. Prediction
Investigation looking At the Speed of Reactions Introduction The aim of this experiment is to find out how a variable can affect the results from a scenario set up in scientific environment. The experiment is to see how a certain variable will affect the amount of Gas produced from a Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Reaction. The Science Calcium Carbonate is a generally white or colourless mineral that is translucent.
Investigating Factors that Affect the Rate of Reaction There are certain factors which affect the rates of reaction in an experiment. These factors are: · Pressure · Temperature · Concentration * Surface area / particle size and * The addition of a catalyst The factors that I will be concentrating on are temperature, concentration and surface area / particle size. Pressure Pressure influences the rate of reaction only when the reactants are in their gas phase. Pressure does not affect them much when they are either solids or liquids.
The aim or purpose of this investigation is to explain how concentration affects the rate of reaction (the decomposition of sodium thiosulphate in reaction with hydrochloric).
Rates of Reaction Reactions Reactions can only occur when two different particles come together. The theory for the way the reaction occurs is called The Collision Theory. The collision theory states that that the different particles need to collide with each other in order to react. However, they do not react if they collide without sufficient energy, and therefore the more energy a particle has, the more likely it is to react.
In order to make it a fair test the volume of hydrochloric acid had to
that the rate of reaction must be fast enough to make as much of the
Rate of Reaction Investigation Aim: To determine how changing the concentration of a reactant (Na S O ) affects the rate of the reaction. Prediction: I predict that when we increase the concentration, the rate will increase; therefore there are more particles and a greater probability of a collision. If more particles are present in the same volume, they will be closer together. This means they have a higher probability of colliding and speeding up the reaction. If we double the concentration, the rate will also double.
If one of the reactants is a solid, you can break it down to smaller
The rate of reaction is how quickly or slowly reactants in chemical reactants turn into products. A low reaction rate is when the reaction takes a long time to take place; hence, a reaction that occurs quickly has a high reaction rate. A rate refers to how slow or quick the product is produced. It is possible to control the rate of chemical reactions and speed up or slow down the rate of chemical reactions by altering three main factors which are temperature, concentration and the surface area. When the temperature of the reactants increases, the molecules vibrate at a more intense speed therefore colliding with each other more frequently and with increased energy resulting in a greater rate of reaction. Accordingly, as the temperature decreases the molecules will move slower, colliding less frequently and with decreased energy resulting in the rate of reaction decreasing. Concentration is how much solute is dissolved into a solution and is also a factor that affects the rate of reaction. When the concentration is greater this means there is an increased amount of reactant atoms and molecules resulting in a higher chance that collisions between molecules will occur. A higher collision rate means a higher reaction rate. Consequently at lower concentrations there are reduced chances of the molecules colliding resulting in a lower reaction rate. The measurement of how much an area of a solid is exposed is called the surface area. The quicker a reaction will occur the more finely divided the solid is. For example, a powdered solid will usually have a greater rate of reaction in comparison to a solid lump that contains the same mass for it has a lower surface area than the powdered solid.
