Landolt Iod Clock Experiment

Reaction order and rate laws are key to understanding the speed in which a reaction occurs and the necessary amounts of each reactant in a reaction. Reaction order determines the concentration of each reactant and can be used to calculate the amount of a substance in a reaction. The zeroth, first, and second orders are the most common and were used in this lab. The order of a reaction can be found by comparing the quantity of a specific substance and the rate in which the reaction occurred. Rate laws contribute to the speed of differing reactions. This is a necessary principle in many fields. For example, it is necessary to know the speed of a reaction that goes on during the inflation of an airbag. Without knowing the rate law the speed could

Within chemistry exists a branch that studies specifically the rate of chemical reactions. This branch is known as kinetics. The rate at which a chemical reaction occurs is dependent on a variety of factors, including the concentration of reactants present and the temperature, just to name a few. The relationship between the rate at which a reaction occurs and the initial concentration of reactants can be demonstrated through the rate law equation: rate=k〖[A]〗^m 〖[B]〗^n

The hypothesis tested in this experiment was, if the temperature of enzyme catalysis were increased, then the reaction rate would increase, because enzyme-catalysis reacts by randomly colliding with substrate molecules, and the increase in temperature increases the speed of collision or reaction rate. The final data collected for the experiment was positive with my hypothesis. The coffee filter, covered in potato solution, sank and rose at a faster pace in the hydrogen peroxide when the temperatures were raised.

A linear plot for equation 1 indicates a first order reaction with k, the true rate constant, equally the negated slope of the graph. A mixed second order rate law reaction is when two components, A and B, crystal violet and hydroxide, are reactants, making it difficult to determine the change in concentration. Due to the complications of mixed second order rate law, the use of first order condition, flooding, was used. Since the concentration of hydroxide was exceedingly larger than the concentration of crystal violet, and does not change significantly throughout the experiment, the concentration of hydroxide is made constant. An observed rate constant,k_obs, becomes equal to the product of these constants, as shown in equation 8.

The rate of a chemical reaction often depends on reactant concentrations, temperature, and if there’s presence of a catalyst. The rate of reaction for this experiment can be determined by analyzing the amount of iodine (I2) formed. Two chemical reactions are useful to determining

Changes in the rate of reaction can be described in terms of chemical equilibrium. “Chemical equilibrium is a state in which the forward and reverse reactions take place at the same rate” (Wilbraham et al, 2002). The

From the results that were collect throughout the experimental investigation has proved the hypothesis to only be partially right. Multiple tests were made when conducting the experiment, two clear solutions were combined at various temperatures and concentrations. The hypothesis states that by adjusting the concentration of the reactants will cause the reaction to either speed up at a higher concentration or slow down at a lower concentration. In the reaction temperature should have a similar effect on the experiment, in that increasing the temperature will cause an increase of particle movement and cause more collision, thus increasing the reaction rate. Therefore decreasing the temperature will decrease the rate of the reaction. From the results given in Tables 2 and 3 it shown that every time the concentration is halved the time is increased. When the concentrations of both KIO3 and NaHSO3 are decreased the time has increased, some concentrations having a higher increase than others. In each concentration decrease the time is at least doubled from the previous concentration time, which is therefore increasing the rate of the reaction.

This transformation relies on the amount of activation energy for the particle to form a new product, and the orientation at which the particles collide. There are several factors that can affect reaction rates within aqueous solutions including temperature, concentration, particle size and catalysts. Temperature affects the rate of reaction of a solution by adding heat which speeds up the particles within the solution or by slowing the particles down through the cooling of the reaction. Concentration also has a large impact on the rate at which a reaction occurs because of the change in the number of particles in the solution. By increasing the concentration of the reactants the collision frequency also increases which escalates the rate at which products are being formed. Decreasing the number of particles in the solution also will decrease the speed with which products are created. Once a reaction between substances has fully occurred, a dynamic equilibrium is established. Although in a dynamic equilibrium the concentration of the reactants appears to be unchanged, a reaction still occurs with the forward reaction rate being equal to that

Chemical kinetics involving reaction rates and mechanisms is an essential part of our daily life in the modern world. It helps us understand whether particular reactions are favorable and how to save time or prolong time during each reaction. Experiment demonstrated the how concentration, temperature and presence of a catalyst can change the rate of a reaction. 5 runs of dilution and reaction were made to show the effect of concentration on chemical reactions. A certain run from the previous task was twice duplicated to for a “hot and cold” test for reaction rate. The prior run was again duplicated for a test with

Faster Rate Of Reaction

Rates of chemical reactions can be defined as “the amount of a particular reactant consumed in mol/L per second” (Anon, 2017) These rate laws have crucial effects in everyday life. There are five factors that affect a reaction rate. These are known as temperature, concentration, the presence of a

Statement of Inquiry: What is the effect of changing a factor on the rate of chemical reaction?

Chemical kinetics studies and determines the rate or speed at which chemical or physical processes occur (Oliver,n.d.)(Jircitano, n.d.). The rate of reaction is the speed at which the reactant in a reaction transforms into products or the change in concentration of a chemical species over the time taken for that change to occur (Oliver,n.d.)(Jircitano, n.d.)(Mack, n.d.)(Blackburn,n.d.). Chemical reactions occur at many different rates and in aqueous or equilibrium systems this rate is dependent on the variables such as the reactivity of reagents, initial concentrations, temperature induced fluctuations and any means of catalysis. (Oliver,n.d.)(Jircitano, n.d.)(Blackburn,n.d.).

The rate of reaction is defined as how fast the reactant is converted to the product and it is measured in moldm-3s-1
