Dissociation constant

analyzing the rates of certain species and reactions, and is a crucial technique to predict different reactions. Kinetics is a very broad topic, thus the experiment focused only on the derivation of empirical rate laws and their corresponding rate constants. The rate of a specific reaction can be expressed with an experimentally-determined, or empirical, rate law in the form of rate = k[A]x[B]y[C]z. The exponents x, y, and z depend on the term…

The purpose of the experiment is to determine the equilibrium constant of the reaction between Fe3+ ions and SCN2+ ions. In solutions one to five (the reference solutions), a large volume of concentrated Fe3+ ions was used in order to react with and convert all of the SCN2+ ions into FeSCN2+ ions. In solutions six to ten (the test solutions), a constant volume of Fe3+--in lesser concentration--and varying volumes of SCN2+ ions were diluted with DI water and reacted to produce an unknown amount…

The rate at which a reaction occurs, referred to as reaction rate, is a type of reaction property that directly measures the extent of a reaction. Changes in concentration affect reaction rates in chemical formulas, and if the reaction is not specifically known, the rate cannot be determined. The rates are given in negative or positive measurements depending on whether the concentration is a reactant or product. Knowing this, the first step in finding the reaction rate would be to determine the…

Introduction This extended experimental investigation (EEI) investigated the effect in which concentration had on the rate of reaction. The purpose of this experiment is to test different concentrations of hydrochloric acid with sodium thiosulfate and to see how long it would take until the cross underneath the flask is no longer visible through the milky white solution. Collision theory A collision is when two or more object run into each other. But collision theory is, that only some…

Experiment 4: Kinetics of Nucleophilic Substitutions 1. Determine the effect of varying [OH-] on the rate of the reaction. To do this, you should complete the following table: Experiment [tBuCl]0 (M) [OH-]0 (M) Time (s) Reaction rate (M/s) Rate constant (s-1) 1 0.03 0.003 65 4.89 · 10-5 1.62 · 10-3 2 0.03 0.006 213 3.15 · 10-5 1.05 · 10-3 3 0.03 0.009 362 2.96 · 10-5 9.85 · 10-4 What is the dependence of [OH-] on the rate law? The effect of the increased or…

Research Question How does the change in hydrochloric acid concentration affect the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3(aq)) and hydrochloric acid (HCL(aq))? Background to the Research question Collision Theory Back in 1916, scientists William Lewis and Max Trautz proposed the collision theory, which qualitatively explains how chemical reactions take place and why reaction rates change for various reactions. Chemical reactions involve collisions amongst reactant particles or…

Both titrations in this lab reflected these properties, such as acid-dissociation, acid-dissociation constants, etc. In parts A and B, it demonstrated the differences between strong and weak acids and why there is a significant difference between equivalence points, as one value was 7.21 and why the other was 8.38. Regardless that the pH differences…

oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve? The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve measures the limited amount of force of oxygen in the blood anaerobically and aerobically. The curve is also assessed and observed through a graph. On the graph the oxyhemoglobin saturation will increase and curve; and eventually plateau. Oxyhemoglobin is represented visually on the effects of how oxygen is transported throughout the body during activity. 5. Explain temperature effect on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation…

In the 1800s, chemist Michael Faraday discovered that water could be decomposed in an electrolytic solution into its elements. This discovery was made through the use of an electric current in a process now known as electrolysis. This was the first systematic study of electrolytic solutions (Lower, n.d.). Faraday observed that two requirements must be met in order for a sample of matter to be an electrical conductor. The first requirement is that the sample must contain electrically charged…
