The reaction between Propanone and iodine under acidic condition

Aims
To find the order of reaction with respect to propanone, iodine and sulfuric acid, thus proposing a rate equation.
Find rate constant at various temperature and with the use of the Arrhenius equation, find the activation enthalpy of the reaction.

General Method {For step by step guide of the experiment see preparation page}
By using known concentration of aqueous iodine solution (0.000 moldm-3, 0.005 mol dm-3, 0.015 moldm-3, 0.020 moldm-3, 0.025 moldm-3, 0.030 moldm-3, 0.035 moldm-3, 0.040 moldm-3, 0.045 moldm-3, 0.050 moldm-3, 0.055 moldm-3) and a colorimeter, find the absorbance for each of the concentrations. This can then be used to to plot a calibration curve (concentration

To enable them to react we can either change the shape of the curve or move the activation energy (explain later on keep reading).

One of which is to increase the temperature of the reaction. As temperature increases the rate of reaction increases. This is because the particles becomes more energetic causing them to have more kinetic energy as a result they move faster and more collisions occur with the required Ea (collision frequency increases). Using this knowledge, to speed up a reaction, there needs to be an increase in the number of energetic particles (those with energies equal to or greater than the activation energy) and by increasing the temperature has that effect (changes the shape of the graph) as shown below.

Curve T: Original temperature
Curve T+t: At higher temperature

Comparing to our original curve (Figure 1.1, Curve T). Curve T+t shows the effect of temperature increase. More particles have the activation energy meaning more successful collisions occur which then leads to reaction, hence seeing the increase of the area under the Curve

    As the temperature increases, the rate of reaction increases until it has reached the optimum temperature above 37°C where the temperature is very high then the reaction rate will decrease. In the data table shown above, there is a similar pattern from increasing the temperature will increase the rate of reaction and as the temperature slowly increases to a certain point then the reaction rate will decrease. When the temperature increase above 37°C, then denature will occur. Also, the temperature increase, the kinetic energy where H2O2 molecules bind frequently with the catalyst increase the enzymes. Conclusions: An enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction, the activation energy allows energy to require to break bonds apart and lower activation…

    1. If the molarity of the NaOH solution is increased, it would take less drops to observe a colour change. A higher concentration lowers the amount of solution required to produce a reaction due to the presence of more molecules and a higher frequency rate, therefore less of the substance is needed to cause an equilibrium shift. 2.…

    Comparisons: Effect of crushed vs. whole tablet: The crushed tablet reacted faster because its surface area is smaller, allowing the particles to react faster with the water. The crushed tablet also produced frothy bubbles all over the water, whereas the reaction (bubbles) of the whole tablet was primarily around the tablet in the water. Temperature effect: The reaction was extremely slow in the cold water as molecules do not move as fast in cold water.…

    Liver Lab By: Jonah Stillman Background Information: Catalase enzymes are inside of nearly every living organism that is exposed to oxygen. Some examples of catalase enzymes are bacteria, plants, and animals. The main job of a catalase enzyme is to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. When an enzyme is exposed to hydrogen peroxide or certain other chemicals it is prone to react. Catalase enzyme reactions also depend on the temperature they are exposed to.…

    Another possible error was that there was not specific temperature of the solution. As a substance’s temperature decrease, the substance’s density decreases (4). Temperature may have also impacted the rate at which the G2 had dissolved. If the temperature of a substance is altered to a temperature that is too warm or cold, it may affect the rate of the reaction. If a solution is heated too much, the particles will have moved faster than normal and collided more often (5).…

    In an oscillating chemical reaction as the Briggs-Rauscher-reaction, the composition of the mixture is complex as a result of some chemical species which exhibit periodic changes. Consequently, such a reaction has an intricate rate law which makes it difficult to determine experimentally. Due to this fact, the paper investigates if the mathematical model Lotka-Volterra including the classic and logistic versions can be used as a description of the Briggs-Rauscher-reaction. In this context, a thorough extermination of the Briggs-Rauscher-reaction, both theoretically, but also experimentally by determining the activation energy and achieving the absorption spectrum of iodine ( I_2), is given. Furthermore, the Lotka-Volterra system of equations…

    Effect of Surface area: If there is a greater surface area of a reactant there is a bigger chance of a collision occurring between the particles. If one of the reactants is a solid then breaking it up into smaller pieces will increase the surface area. This means the particles around it in the solution will have more to work to do so there will be more useful collisions. Effect of Concentration: Increasing the concentration means you are adding more particles to a solution which also increases the reaction time.…
