Rate Law Lab

Decent Essays
The Kinetics of a chemical reaction can give information of how fast or how slow a reaction occurs. The speed of the reaction is known as the reaction rate, it is often defined as the change in concentration per unit of time. The value of the reaction rate is dependent on the species in the solution as well as the initial concentrations of the species. In this experiment, the objective was to observe the relationship between the rate law and the concentration, this was done by finding the rate law equation of the reaction. The rate law was determined by finding the rates of the same reaction done multiple times with several reactant concentrations as well as determining the time it took to complete the reaction. By finding these values the

    This lab makes use of the reaction excess powdered calcium carbonate and different concentrations limiting hydrochloric acid in order to determine the effect of changing concentration on the rate of the reaction. Students will carry out 3 trials of 5 experiments each trial. The five different experiments are for the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 mol/L). First measure out approximately 2 grams of powdered calcium carbonate using a weighing boat and analytical balance. Then, measure out 30 mL of 0.2 M hydrochloric acid into a volumetric flask.…

    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…

    It was predicted that when the pH level increases, the rate of reaction increases. Comparing the average mass’s in Figure 1 and 2, the hypothesis is supported. In Figure 1 and looking at Data Table 1, In the duration of 10 seconds the mass only decreased by 0.1 grams, which is slower when compared to Figure 2 and Data Table 2, where the mass decreased by 0.039 grams in a span of 10 seconds. The rate of reaction in the first Figure 1, slope 1, is showcasing the initial mass of the experiment to 30 seconds. Within the first 30 seconds the mass only decreased by 0.2 grams.…

    Introduction In this experiment, we mixed different amounts of reactants and measured the volume of O2 they produced so that we could determine the rate and order of the reaction. Three trials were done, the first trial acted as a baseline, then the following two trials each varied the concentration of a single reactant, allowing us to calculate the order of the reaction. Additionally, the temperature of the solution was changed to see what effect that would have on the rate. Using this information the activation energy for this reaction could be calculated and compared to the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reaction.…

    This laboratory consisted of knowing the different effects of adding an enzyme and adding a substrate to a chemical reaction. Also by increasing or decreasing the temperature of a reaction as well as adding an inhibitor to test the enzymatic activity that would take place in the reaction. With the prior knowledge we conclude a hypothesis for this experiment. Which is the concentration for substrate will increase as well as the rate of reaction. As the temperature increases the rate of reaction increases too.…

    On average, SN2 reactions take less than 30 seconds and SN1 reactions take more than 30 seconds. This is because SN1 is a two-step mechanism and SN2 is an one-step mechanism. In the experiment, bromobenzene should perform SN1 reaction but it does not. In contrast, 1-chlorobutane should not perform SN1 reaction but it does. Furthermore, 1-chlorobutane and 2-chlorobutane should perform SN2 reaction but they do not.…

    Trayc Poppenhager May 5, 2015 TA: GK Chem 341 Thermodynamics and Kinetic Control Goal: The overall goal of this experiment was to learn and observe about kinetic and thermodynamic control of different reactions by noticing which product forms faster or slower and possibly which reaction is more stable than the rest of the reactions. Significance: Organic chemists find using kinetic and thermodynamic control useful because they use the concept of the reactions to figure out reactions that are being used at the same time or experiment, that overcome or trump the set of reactants used in the experiment.…

    The volume of sodium thiosulphate will be 50cm³. The different concentrations of hydrochloric acid are 0.10M, 0.25M, 0.50M, 0.60M, 0.90M and 1.0M. Now, I will discuss my prediction of what will happen during the experiment. Prediction: My prediction is, • As I increase the concentration of hydrochloric acid and add it to the sodium thiosulphate the rate of reaction will decrease. This happens because more particles are being added to the solution when the concentration increases.…

    Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an oxidoreductase found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. LDH catalyses the formation of lactate and NAD+ from pyruvate and NADH, during the last step of anaerobic glycolysis. The reaction is also catalysed in the other direction by LDH during the Cori cycle. This reaction can be assayed using spectrophotometric techniques; peak absorbance of NADH is at 340nm, but the peak absorbance of NAD+ is 259nm (Powers, et al., 2007). Enzyme assays are performed to measure the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction, known as the enzyme activity.…
