The rate of a reaction would be the change of concentration of a reactant divided by the time (Green & Damji 161). The rate law is an expression deduced to show the relation of rate to the concentrations of the reactants in a chemical reaction. The rate law equals the rate constant, multiplied by the concentration of the reactants raised to their respective reaction orders (Green & Damji 170). The rate law of the equation given above is: k is the rate constant (given in M/sec or sec-1 or M-1sec-1) A is first reactant and [A] is the concentration of the first reactant (given in M) m is the order with respect to A * Any reactant in brackets refers to the concentration of the particular reactant The rate constant is a variable that is defined using a set of characteristics (Green & Damji 170): • It is dependent on temperature and the availability of a catalyst (a substance that increases rate) • It is measurable through experimentation • It is specific to each chemical reaction • It does not change throughout a reaction Reaction order is defined as the relationship between the concentrations of reactants and the rate of the reaction or simply as the power to which the reactants’ concentrations are raised (Green & Damji 170). The power raised is the coefficient to the left of the reactant, as seen in the rate law above. The overall reaction order refers to the sum of all the powers (Green & Damji 170). For example if the reaction order of [A] was 2 and the reaction order of [B] was 1, the reaction order would be a third reaction order. Three reaction orders will be discussed in this exploration: • Zero reaction order (when [A] would be raised to the power of 0) • First reaction order (when [A] would be raised... ... middle of paper ... ... .

If the solution is stirred more there are more collisions between the particles. therefore the reaction is speeded up). Temperature of Water - °C. As the temperature increases so does the rate of the reaction. By increasing the temperature, particles move.
In this equation, Y is the dependent variable, and X is the independent variable. α is the intercept of the regression line, and β is the slope of the regression line. e is the random disturbance term.
3. The higher the concentration of the enzyme the more there are to catalyze the reaction. Taking information from graph 1 (change in mL of enzyme), the more mL of enzymes that there are the faster the reaction rate is. It would increase until there was no substrate left available for a reaction.
An elements¡¦ reaction to certain substances may be predicted by its placement on the Periodic Table of Elements. Across a period, an element on the left will react with more vigor than one on the right, of the same period. Vertically, as elements are sectioned into groups, the reaction of each element increases as you move down in the same group. With this in mind, the reactions of the substances involved in this experiment may be hypothesized, observed, and validated.
Input variables In this experiment there are two main factors that can affect the rate of the reaction. These key factors can change the rate of the reaction by either increasing it or decreasing it. These were considered and controlled so that they did not disrupt the success of the experiment. Temperature-

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the affect of the use of a catalyst and temperature on the rate of reaction while keeping all the other factors that affect the reaction rate constant.
The aim of my investigation is to find out whether the increase of temperature increases the rate of reaction between the two reactants of Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid. I will then find out and evaluate on how temperature affects this particular reaction. Factors There are four main factors, which affect the rate of reaction that are considered as variables for the experiment I will be doing, they are the following: Molecules can only collide when two of them meet together.
An enzymatic reaction also known as enzyme kinetics involves enzymes which are catalysts which speed up a reaction without being used up itself and do not appear as reaction products. Kinetics measures the rate of a chemical reaction to help determine the concentration or quantity of the enzyme of interest. Km and Vmax are used as constants in any enzyme reactions. (1) Vmax is known as the maximum velocity at which the reaction can be catalysed. It is used to measure the enzymes concentration and is found when all the enzymes active sites are saturated with the substrate. Km is the concentration of substrate which permits the enzyme from achieving half its Vmax. The lower the Km the greater the affinity the enzyme will have for the substrate. Km and Vmax are determined by saturating the enzyme with different amount of substrate, these results can be then plotted on a graph of rate of reaction vs concentration of substrate which will give you a curve. The slope determined from each curve is also the velocity. The Michaelis constant usually takes the form of an equation where reaction velocity is related to substrate concentration for a system, where a substrate S binds to an enzyme E to form an enzyme-substrate complex ES, which reacts to make a product P and restore the enzyme E. A bright yellow substance is released from the BAPNA, p-nitroaniline. This
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.
The main variables that can change a rate of reaction are; 1. Temperature. 2. Concentration. 3.
In order to understand enzyme kinetics, it is important to understand Vmax and Michaelis-Menten constant. The rate of reaction catalyzed by an enzyme increases linearly with the substrate concentration up to a point but soon reaches the maximum value called Vmax beyond which there is no further increase in reaction rate. Michaelis and Menten define a constant, designated as Km which is useful
that the rate of reaction must be fast enough to make as much of the
The time taken for this to happen is the measure of the rate of reaction. We must do this several times, and change the concentration of sodium thiosulphate. The rate of reaction is a measure of the change, which happens during a reaction in a single unit of time. The things that affect the rate of reaction are as follows. Surface area of the reactants Concentration of the reactants
