Exploring Reaction Rates EXPERIMENT 1: TEMPERATURE AND THE RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTION Data Sheet Table 1: Temperature vs. Brightness of Glow Stick Temperature (ºC) Brightness Before Activation Brightness After Activation Start Time Stop Time Beaker #1 (Room Temp) 25 ºC 3 3 10:22 10:27 Beaker #2 (Cold Water) 3 ºC 3 3.5 10:22 10:27 Beaker #3 (Hot Water) 77 ºC 3 9 10:22 10:27 Figure 1: Temperature vs. Brightness of Glow Stick 25 ºC 3 ºC 77 ºC 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Temperature vs. Brightness of Glow Brightness Before Activation Brightness After Activation Temperature Brightness Data Post-Lab Questions 1. Was your hypothesis supported or rejected? Use the data in Table 1 and/or your graph to support your reasoning. My hypothesis stated that if the glow stick was put into the hot ©eScience Labs, LLC 2015
Exploring Reaction Rates water, then it would be brighter than the glow stick in the cold water. My hypothesis was supported because the glow stick in the cold water looked as if it had gotten dimmer than brighter while the glow stick in the hot water was the brightest. 2. The decomposition of H 2 O 2 is a first-order reaction given by the formula: Rate = k [H 2 O 2 ] 1 . How would the reaction rate be affected if the H 2 O 2 concentration were double its original value? The reaction rate would also become doubled because the reaction rate changes proportionally to the changes in the concentration. 3. What was the independent variable in the experiment? Temperature 4. What was the dependent variable in the experiment? Brightness of the glow stick 5. What are some human errors that could have affected your results? The temperature could have gone down or gone up before the glow sticks were put in the beakers or I could have not put the glow stick in the beakers as fast as I should have. 6. What is the correlation between the brightness of the glow stick and the reaction rate? The faster the reaction rate is then the brighter the glow stick will glow. 7. How does the temperature surrounding the glow stick affect the observed brightness? Use the data in Table 1 and/or your graph to support your answer. When the glow stick was in the water with the temperature of 77 ºC, it was much brighter than the glow stick that was in the water with the temperature of 25 ºC and the room temp beaker. The higher the temperature, the brighter the glow stick. ©eScience Labs, LLC 2015
