An Experiment into the Effect of Concentration on Rate of Reaction
Introduction:
A chemical reaction is when two or more substance called reactants are chemically bonded to form a new product, as a result of the process, for a reaction to take place, the particles must have enough kinetic energy to collide and form new bonds , this is called a successful collision. The minimum amount of energy needed for a successful collision is activation energy. The activation energy is able to loosen particles and enable them to form new bonds to produce new products. The more the molecules there are the bigger the chance of a successful collision, so the faster the reaction will be.
The rate of reaction is the speed a chemical reaction takes to react …show more content…

The units of concentration are mol/dm3. The formula is the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of solution.
The collision theory states that for a reaction to occur the reactant particles must collide. In a solution the particles move at different speeds. If 2 particles collide with enough energy the will be a chemical reaction and a product will be formed, this is known as the collision theory.
High concentrations imply that more reacting molecules are at high proximity to each other therefore intermolecular collisions are frequent therefore forming products frequently. To measure, the effect of each of above factors, one has to hold some factors constant during rate reaction experimentation.
Therefore, this study intends to investigate the effect of concentration and surface area of reactants on the rate of chemical reactions. I am doing this experiment to gain the knowledge of the effects of concentration levels on the rate of reaction. This can help me understand better what affects the rate of reaction and how changing concentration levels will help increase the rate of reaction.
Magnesium Metal (ribbon) reacts with hydrochloric acid to form Magnesium Chloride salt, and releases hydrogen gas. The equation is stated …show more content…

Clean the Magnesium ribbon using a sandpaper to remove oxides coating its surface. This will reduce reaction errors related to impurities.
Cut 9 equal sizes (3 cm) pieces of Magnesium from the cleaned Magnesium ribbon, weigh each of them using a digital weighing balance and record weights.
Wrap the magnesium pieces in plastic bag to prevent them from being re-oxidized.
Measure 10 ml of .5M HCl (measure from meniscus) using a pipette into a clean dry measuring cylinder and pour into a clean 100 ml conical flask.
Repeat step 5 and 6 for 1M and 2M HCL and keep all the acids ready away from working bench to avoid spills during experiment.
Reset your stopwatch timer and prepare a gas delivery system including water bath as shown in apparatus below.
Pick one piece of Magnesium ribbon drop in the first prepared acid in the conical flask and immediately start your stopwatch.
Immediately cork the flask with rubber bung to the prepared gas delivery system.
Monitor the reaction progress closely and record data for 3 (180 seconds) minutes every 10

After I rinsed the copper I transferred it to a watch glass that had been baked for 20 minutes so it would not contain any liquid so as to not counteract the experiment. After I put the copper on this watch glass I baked the copper in the oven for 20 minutes so there would be no liquid left in that to mess up the mass. After 20 minutes I removed the watch glass with the copper in it and weighed itm making sure to weigh the watch glass

Some factors that influence the speed of a chemical reaction are: (1) surface area of starting reactants; (2) concentration of reactants; (3) temperatures. The particle theory states that a solute dissolved takes place at the surface of the solvent and the larger the surface area of the particle the longer it will take to dissolve. The smaller the area the faster it will

A mixture of elements is what is known as compounds. Chemical reactions occur when particles react with each other and atoms in molecules get rearranged. Reactions happen either rapidly or slowly. The speed of a reaction is known as the rate of the reaction. This speed of chemical reaction depends on many factors such as temperature, particle size of reactants, and the intensity of reactants.

If only one reactant is increased, then the chemical reaction will only produce a certain amount of products after the limiting reagent is used up, and in this experiment, the most mass the reaction could produce was 0.4 grams. Although we kept adding calcium chloride, not adding sodium hydroxide in the same proportions will not yield more product, which is the main goal in conducting this lab. We should have seen a plateau at 0.4 grams to show that the limiting reagent inhibited further Ca(OH)2 production, but we made several mistakes in our experiment, which made the data unusable to conclude. Once again, the data is polluted, so these number are not accurate, but it is the data our group has to work with. The theoretical yield should have been more than the actual yield, and the percentages should have been less than 100.

Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide - Lab Report Background Information/Introduction: The aim of this lab is to determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide by converting magnesium to magnesium oxide. As an alkali earth metal, magnesium reacts violently when heated with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide and magnesium nitride as a byproduct. In order to obtain only magnesium oxide, distilled water was added so that magnesium nitride will react and convert to magnesium hydroxide. Further heating then oxidizes all of the magnesium into magnesium oxide.

In reactions, this law says that the mass of the original substance is the same after going through a reaction. This is shown with balanced chemical equations. It is needed so that the mass of the product is equivalent to the mass of the reactants. Mole ratio is the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation.

To determine the rate of reaction there are many method to be used for example, measuring the mass after the product has been added and measuring the difference in mass on the duration of a digital scale. Another method, which will be used in this experiment is using a gas syringe to measure the volume of the gas which has been produced. The cylinder inside, will be pushed out to show a quantitative presentation of the volume produced by the reaction. Hypothesis

How does the amount of baking soda mixed with vinegar affect the volume of gas produced? The rate of reaction is the increase or decrease time taken at which the products are formed or concentration increase or decrease between a reaction of two or more substances. In the reaction, new bonds are formed whilst others have been broken.
