    are converted into products is the rate of a chemical reaction. Some reactions occur more quickly than others, but the reaction rate can be made faster or slower depending on certain factors. Concentration, surface area, temperature, and the presence of a catalyst are all factors that can affect the rate of a reaction. A reaction is considered complete when the entirety of at least one of the reactants has been converted into products. If the end of a reaction is indicated by a color change or the

    the factor tested to see how it affected the rate of reactions. Tweaking the method for the first experiment, the sodium thiosulphate were in three different temperature; one was placed on a hotplate and heated, another in an ice bath and the last was room temperature. This showed how the temperature of the solution can be an important factor when investigating reaction rates. Concentration of the reactants affects reaction rate by increasing the rate when the concentration is also increased. According

    Effect of Reactant Concentration on Reaction Rate Research Question What is the effect of reactant concentration on reaction rate? Aim To investigate the effect of reactant concentration on reaction rate. Introduction This experiment is based on the effect of reactant concentration on reaction rate. "Reactant concentration is the amount of the chemical and the number of molecules being used and the higher the amount of reactant the higher the reaction rate is and the lower the amount of the

    Chemistry IA Title : The relationship between the temperature and the rate of reaction in a chemical reaction. Introduction : Last academic year, towards the end, in IB chemistry hl class, my class had the chance to learn about the concentration, temperature, catalysts, etc and their effects on the rate of reaction in a chemical reaction. I knew that the rate of reaction had a relationship with the factors but I wanted to know how it changes witness it for myself. I wanted to perform an experiment

    would result in the fastest rates of reaction and reaction time. This was because of the scientific reasoning that at larger temperatures and concentrations atomic particles collide with greater energy and more frequently. The data collected from the experiment supports the hypothesis. It was observed that the largest concentration of reactants, 0.2M and 0.5M, had the highest reaction rate of 0.00484 mol/L/s, and quickest induction phase, 1 second. Also, the slowest reaction time was 21.51 seconds and

    Aim: To prove that reaction rate is faster if the temperature is increased, in accordance to the collision theory. Introduction: In all matter there are small substances, called molecules. When two of these molecules collide with sufficient energy, there is a chance of a successful chemical reaction, this is the collision theory. These chemicals reactions are effected by a variety of outside factors and the duration for a reaction to occur is called the reaction rate. Reaction rate can be measured

    this experiment was that an increase in concentration will increase the rate of reaction by decreasing the time taken for the colour change to occur. Figure 1.1 shows time on the x axis and concentration on the y axis, it can be seen that as [reactant] decreases, time increases.Thus, the results correlate with the hypothesis that an increase in concentration will produce a faster reaction time and subsequently a larger reaction rate - regardless of change in [KIO3] or [Na2S2O5], both reactants produce

    to be able to measure the rate of reaction of peroxydisulfate ion with iodide ion. Students will be allowed to calculate the reaction order, partial order and rate constant of four different reaction solution. Furthermore, observe and record the time when the color changes when KI solution (potassium iodide), starch solution, Na2S2O3 solution (sodium thoisulfate), KNO3 solution (Potassium nitrate) and EDTA solution is mixed in an Erlenmeyer flask. Measuring a reaction rate is not only significant

    1. How does surface area affect reaction rate? 2. How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration? 3.How does the temperature of a solvent affect the solubility of a solute? Variables involved in the investigation Chosen Aim: How does surface area affect reaction rate? What has been discovered previously? By increasing the surface area of the reactant, more particles are exposed to the other reactant. The speed of a chemical reaction can be made faster by increasing

    reactants affects the rate of reaction Chemistry Coursework This experiment is aimed at investigating how the concentration of reactants affects the rate of reaction: The reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium will be used to investigate how different concentrations of the acid affect the rate of reaction. The gas produced from the reaction will be measured and used to display the average rate of reaction. The rate of reaction is a measure of how fast a reaction is going and how long
