Reaction rate constant

to conclude that the reaction with the fastest reaction rate is magnesium and hydrochloric acid. Initially, it was hypothesized that the reaction with hydrochloric acid would have the fastest reaction rate due to its high acidity observed from the pH scale. From there, the following reactions were based on the pH of the acid involved as well as the concentration of hydrogen ions/atoms within the acid molecule. As a result, it was hypothesized that the sulfuric acid reaction would be the second…

Paragraph 1 The crystal chemical relationship between quartz (SiO2) and FePO4 can be studied by putting them under a temperature range of 294K to 1073K in an attempt to study the evolution of their structures. In doing so, we would able to examine the other quartz homeotypes that emerge during high temperatures and known to show a-b transitions. This study of quartz homeotypes were essential because the new information that was gathered would aid greatly in the creation of new products and more…

The Michaelis constant, Km, is the amount of substrate needed for the enzyme to obtain half of its maximum rate of reaction. (Oregon 2015) It reveals the enzymes affinity for the substrate and shows the magnitude of the enzymes affect on changing the rate of the reaction. For example, an enzyme with a high Km needs a large concentration of substrate to efficiently increase the rate of the reaction. (Oregon 2015) A low Km indicates that the enzyme will increase the rate of reaction with a small…

The results of the lab show the decomposition rate of H2O2 at various amounts of KI, H2O, and H2O2. In addition, the effect of temperature on the rate of the reaction can also be seen in the results. Figure 1 Figure 2 `Figure 3 Figures 1,2 and 3 represent the results obtained from the keeping the amount of KI constant and varying the amount of H2O2 and water. It can be seen that when H2O2 is doubled (Figure 1 to Figure 2) the rate is also doubled from 0.0368 mL/s to 0.0723 mL/s. When the…

catalytic proteins made up of amino acids and are a key part of the breakdown and synthesis of virtually every biological catalysis reaction mechanism. The primary function of a catalytic enzyme is to increase the rate of reaction by helping the enzyme overcome the activation energy barrier without the reaction consuming or changing the enzyme. In enzymatic reactions, the substrate binds to the highly specific enzyme active site (the substrate-binding domain) and forms an enzyme-substrate…

Most corrosion is an electrochemical reaction. Anything that affects the speed of the chemical reaction will in turn affect the amount of current flow, which will affect the rate of corrosion. The rate of corrosion is directly proportional to the amount of current in the electrochemical corrosion cell. If the current can be measured accurately, then an exact calculation of the metal loss can be made. 2.2.1 ELECTRICAL EFFECTS ON THE RATE OF CORROSION Any issue that have an effect on the…

The Reaction of a food dye with bleach Introduction The overall purpose of the experiment was to determine the order in respect to the blue dye and the rate constant (K). With these found however, the overall rate law in the reaction between blue food coloring and the bleaching agent within commercial Clorox can be found. The orders in a rate law equation represent the relationship between the concentration of a given element or molecule and the overall rate, for example, when a reaction in…

surface charge of both the dyes molecules and functional groups of adsorbent. More absorption capacity is well worked on 4 & 6 pH. As the pH is increases, however, the overall surface charge on the cells will become positive, which will promote reaction with Methyl Red as an anionic dye through electrostatic forces of attraction. At pH 2 ,the removal capacity is low due the structure of methyl red and iron particles. It has greater tendency to attract them and corroision starts…

the rate of reaction? Problem: What effects does temperature have on the rate of reaction? Purpose: The aim of this investigation is to investigate how changing the temperature of sodium thiosulphate affects the rate of reaction in a chemical reaction. In order to complete this practical the temperature will be changed three times and the rate of reaction will be measured each time. Variables: Independent: -the temperature of the sodium thiosulphate. Dependent: -the rate of reaction. …

Introduction Enzymes, which speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed or changing the products of the reaction, are very important because they control the cellular activity of all living organisms. Enzymes are also described as being “catalysts”. In biological systems, specific enzymes catalyze particular cellular reactions. Each enzyme has a unique 3-D shape, and this shape determines which reaction it catalyzes. However, in order for a chemical reaction to move forward, an energy…
