Introduction/Background: Kinetics is the study of how fast chemical reactions occur and the mechanisms of them2. The rate law relates the rate of a reaction to the concentrations of reactants (and catalysts) raised to various powers. The rate law is shown in Equation 11. Rate = k[A]x[B]y[C]z (Eq.1) The rate constant (k) is a proportionality constant in the relationship between rate and concentrations, but changes when temperature changes. The effect of temperature on a reaction rate is given by the Arrhenius equation2 (Equation 2): k=Ae-Ea/RT (Eq.2) where A is the collision frequency factor, Ea the activation energy of the reaction, T the absolute temperature, and R the ideal gas constant.

This is done with various volumes of solutions in each run. The temperature remains constant at room temperature. Part C is determining the effect of temperature on the reaction rate. To observe the effect of temperature, the solutions are bathed in different water temperatures before mixing. This is timed, as well, to determine the activation energy. The reagents, KI and (NH4)2S2O8 are kept constant. Part D is determining the effect of copper(II) nitrate, a catalyst, on the reaction rate. The temperature remains constant at room temperature. Referencing Table 4 (Flask B), the (NH4)2S2O8 solution doubled while the (NH4)2SO4 decreased in reagent added. One drop of Cu(NO3)2 was added to the mixture. The copper(II) nitrate (catalyst) was added to the flask containing Na2S2O and KI (also known as Flask A). …show more content…
The constant temperatures were set at room temperature of 20° C, which inevitably helped determine the effect of [S2O82-] on the reaction rate. For the trials on Data Sheet 2 the average reaction time for Run 5 is 41.6 seconds, Run 6 is 82.9 seconds, Run 7 is 138.55 seconds, and Run 8 is 261.3 seconds. The constant temperatures were also set at 20° C, which helped determine the effect of [I- ] on the reaction rate. For the trials on Data Sheet 3 the average reaction time for Run 9 is 277.46 seconds, Run 10 is 159.52 seconds, Run 11 is 86.93 seconds, Run 12 is 44.2 seconds. The constant temperatures varied, as this part of the experiment was determining the effect of temperature on the reaction rate.. In Data Sheet 3 Run 9 has a temperatures consistency of 11° C, Run 10 is at normal room temperature of 19.8° C, Run 11 is set at a higher temperature at about 35° C, and Run 12 is set at the highest temperature at 45° C, overall affecting the reaction rate. Lastly, Data Sheet 4 has the average reaction of 33.08 seconds for Run 13, Run 14 is 28.88 seconds, Run 15 is 74.85 seconds, and Run 16 is 129.45 seconds. During runs 13-16, the constant temperatures were back to normal standards of 20° C, which led to determining the effect of copper(II) nitrate, a catalyst, on the reaction
Discussion 1. Zn0 (s)+ Cu2+S6+O42-(aq) →Cu0(s) + Zn2+S6+O42-(aq) Zn0(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e- Cu2+(aq) + 2e- → Cu0(s) Zn0(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu0(s) Oxidant (oxidizing agent) is the element which reduces in experiment.
This experiment had water and the amount as a control as well as the size of the metal were also kept same. the This was why the experiment was repeated multiple times on different days. A standard deviation was found for each element when calorimeter constant and specific heat were calculated. Tuesday was the day with the least amount of deviation which meant it was the day with the most precise when calorimeter constants were compared (Table 1).
The reaction was repeated 3 times and average rate noted. From these rates a graph was plotted which describes the relationship of the pressure produced and number of drops added. The reaction rates were measured by Kpa/min and were written to 4 figures for precise results. Time was measured by stop watch. Table 4 shows a summary of all the groups which participated in the lab session.
How is temperature related to this reaction? The higher the temperature the slower they move.
The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.
In test tube 2, when pH 4.0 solution was mixed with the reactants this reaction reached completion at 225 seconds. When pH 7.0 solution reacted with the reactants its reaction went to completion at 180 seconds. Finally, when pH 8.0 solution was mixed with the reactants its reaction came to completion at 210 seconds (Figure 1). Test tube 3 was filled with a pH 7.0 solution had the highest initial reaction velocity followed by test tube 4 containing a pH 8.0 solution. Test tube 2 had the pH4.0 solution which was second to last for the IRV calculation, and finally the base line test tube had the lowest IRV (Table
Introduction: In this assignment, I will be doing two experimentations on examining the impact of temperature on the Alka-Seltzer’s response time. The first experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is room temperature. The second experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is very hot. If I want to be able to figure out the impact of the temperature on water, I will have to document the time it will take for the Alka-Seltzer to go into solution.
The control in the experiment is water. Units used while timing the productivity of gas from an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different temperatures is, seconds. In order to find out if temperature controls the rate of chemical reaction, whether hot water is a more effective way to make the gas produce at a faster speed, it would be necessary to compare the results of different temperatures at the end of each trial. In order to do this the scientists will measure the volume of gas that is produced within a 10 second interval time after the tablet begins to react.
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
Copper Cycle Lab Report Ameerah Alajmi Abstract: A specific amount of Copper will undergo several chemical reactions and then recovered as a solid copper. A and percent recovery will be calculated and sources of loss or gain will be determined. The percent recovery for this experiment was 20.46%.
Temperature: In this experiment, we will examine how the temperature affects the decomposition rate of a cough drop in water. There will be 3 different temperatures (cold, warm and hot) and all of the three experiment will be performed at the same time. Equipment: 3x Hot plates 3x Magnetic stirrers 3x 150 mL beakers 3x Cough drops 3x
The actual data is the result on our experiment vs theoretical, which is based on the calculations above. I have also learned to pay more attention to draining out all of the product completely before continuing to test the experiment, as any small drop of contaminant can veer our results into a different
Catalase and Temperature Introduction Background: Enzymes are catalysts which help reactions inside of organisms such as cells. Many different types of enzymes are used to catalyze different types of reactions. Enzymes are able to catalyze reactions that normally wouldn’t be possible under the specific circumstances in the cell such as the pressure or temperature of the cell. The way an enzyme works is it binds with the active site of a substrate and creates an enzyme substrate complex. The enzyme then breaks apart the bonds in a substrate and then leaves unchanged after the reaction.
As you increase the temperature, the rate of reaction increases. This occurs because as you heat a substance, the particles move faster and
The gradient gave the value of K, the rate constant for the reaction. Figure 2 shows the plotted graph Figure 2. From the
