    2348 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Reaction Plan We must produce a piece of coursework investigating the rates of reaction, and the effect different changes have on them. The rate of reaction is the rate of loss of a reactant or the rate of formation of a product during a chemical reaction. 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 are

  • The Effect of Temperature on Yeast Respiration

    1406 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Effect of Temperature on Yeast Respiration PLAN Aim: To determine the effect of temperature upon respiration of Yeast. Prediction: I predict that the respiratory rate of the yeast will increase in speed as the temperature of the water increases. However, it may reach a peak, and slowly decline as the temperature increases further. My reason for the above prediction is that, anyone who has cooked, knows that yeast is supposed to respond in warm water, so I believe that the

  • Investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction

    3176 Words  | 7 Pages

    To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction Background Information: Chemical reactions take place all the time at many different rates, some are incredibly fast like an explosion-where you get no time to see what's happening or like rusting which could take years before the iron is completely rusted. The rate of reaction is extremely important because you need to know how long before the end of the session or you may not get results in time. In living organisms
