Experiment B3: Chemical Kinetics Lab Report Determination of Order of the reaction and Rate Constant Based on the equation 1, the reaction rate was observed under different concentration of I- and S2O82- where k is the rate constant while x and y are the reaction orders I- and S2O82- respectively. Rate = k[I-]x[S2O82-]y Equation 1 The value of x from Equation 1 was determined from various concentrations of the I- while the concentration of the S2O82- was fixed. A fixed amount of S2O32- and starch are added to the reaction mixture. S2O32- reacts with 〖I_3〗^- produced in Equation 2 and when S2O32- is consumed Equation 3 will stop. Then 〖I_3〗^-combines with the starch and form a complex that is dark purple color shown in Equation 4. 3I- + S2O82- ⇄ I3- + 2SO42- Equation 2 I3- + 2SO42- ⇄ 3I- + S4O62- Equation 3 I3- +…

Chemical kinetics focuses on the rates in which chemical reactions take place; in other words, it describes how quickly reactants are consumed and how quickly products are produced. When observing the reaction rate, an important factor to take into consideration is the reactant concentration, in which the rate is ultimately dependent on. To determine the rate order, data must be collected experimentally and then analyzed using Excel. Because the initial concentrations of each trial are known in…

hChemical kinetics deals with the rates of chemical processes. Any chemical process is considered to consist of number of one or more single-step step which are known as elementary reactions elementary processes or elementary steps. Elementary reactions may involve dissociation or isomerisation of a single reactant molecule, which is referred as unimolecular step. Also there may be a single collision between two molecules, which is referred as a bimolecular step. It should be noted that…

CH 204 – Introduction to Chemical Practice Experiment 10 – Kinetics Joshua Fu* Tien Tran TA: Jamie Trindell April 25, 2016 INTRODUCTION This experiment focused on the concept of chemical kinetics, which describes the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs and the amount of reactant or product remaining after a specific period of time. Kinetics is important in analyzing the rates of certain species and reactions, and is a crucial technique to predict different reactions. Kinetics is…

Kinetic can be defined as a study of the speeds or the rates of chemical reactions. The factors that could affect the rates of the reactions are physical state, reaction temperature, catalysts, pressure, concentration of solution, and reaction time. The change of the speed of the reaction can be predicted based on the different reaction conditions. Kinetic study is important because it can describe information about the reaction mechanism. The concentration has affected the frequency which the…

calculated by Gaussian, given in Hartrees; we convert and report these in kcal mol-1. Ground state systems are local minima marked by no imaginary frequencies, while transition states are local maxima containing exactly one imaginary frequency corresponding to the reaction of interest. As we used DFT to optimize distinct molecular geometries, we encountered errors with the program that occurred for several reasons. These include but are not limited to incorrect textual input data files,…

CHYMOTRYPSIN CATALYSIS Sarkis Hamalian ABSTRACT To examine the enzyme kinetics of chymotrypsin during the catalysis of the synthetic substrate p-nitrophenyl acetate (NPA). Initially, observe the magnitude of the initial burst with regards to the enzyme concentration. Secondly, the analysis of the steady state deacylation rate with regards to the pH of the reaction mixture. Chymotrypsin catalysis is a process that proceeds with two steps, an initial fast step involving the covalent modification…

1. Chemical reactions involved in the oxidation of benzene (adapted from Lupușor et al., 1981) In order to achieve such an analysis, a simplified mathematical model of the reactor was used considering a pseudo-homogeneous, one-dimensional, plug-flow reactor. Model equations are presented in the Table 1 in terms of the mass balance of the considered chemical species, heat and moment balance, with the rate constants given in Table 2: Table 1. The fixed bed multi-tubular reactor model used for…
