The Effect Of Chemical Reactions On The Rate Of Reaction

In reference to the collision theory, molecules act as small spheres that collide and bounce off each other, transferring energy among themselves when the collide. In order for a reaction to occur, there must be collisions between molecules. Through experimentation, factors are discovered that influence the reaction rates of chemical reactions include the concentration of reactants, temperature, surface area, the physical state of reactants, and a catalyst. This experiment regarding the factors that affect reaction rate tests the effects of increased concentration and

Introduction: In everything there are things called particles; and sometimes when two particles meet a chemical reaction occurs. Also, with different strategies the chemical reaction can be sped up or slowed down. This is measured with reaction rate which is used to measure the length of a chemical reaction.

Introduction: The rate of a reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction happens. If a reaction has a low rate, that means the molecules combine at a slower speed than a reaction with a high rate. Some reactions take hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years while others can happen in less than one second. (Chem for Kids, 2016). Reactions require collisions between reactant molecules or atoms. The formation of bonds requires atoms to come close to one another. New bonds can form only if the atoms are close enough together to share electron. Higher temperatures make the collisions between molecules more violent. The higher temperatures mean higher velocities. This means there will be less time between collisions. The frequency of collisions will increase. (Chem, 1999) H2O2 is the chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide will break down into oxygen and water.

Many factors effect reaction rates, two shown above include temperature and concentration. Concentration affects the rate of reactions because the more concentrated a solution the more likely collisions between particles will be. This is simply because there are more particles present to collide with each other. When the temperature is higher, particles will

A chemical reaction is a process that involves change of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction. The key concepts of a chemical reaction are:

In this experiment it was observed that not all chemical reactions occur at the same rate. Chemical reactions occur when one or more substances are changed into other substances. The properties of a chemical reaction require three things. First, they need a source of energy for molecules to encounter each other. Second, they require to proceed at a steady rate. Third, they must proceed in a particular direction until they reach equilibrium. There are two types of chemical reactions that can occur: endergonic and exergonic reactions. In these reactions there are both reactants and products. In exergonic reactions the reactants (starting materials of a reaction) are higher than the products (results of a reaction). This is opposite for endergonic

In this experiment we tested the effects that enzymes and substrate have on chemical reaction rates, which is the rate at which chemical reactions occur.. This experiment tested how different concentrations of enzyme and substrate affected the light absorption measurements on a spectrophotometer. The experiment also tested how temperature affected the light absorption, and in a separate test, the effect of the enzyme inhibitor hydroxylamine was also tested. In the first test conducted, 3 different concentrations of enzyme, and three different concentrations of substrate were measured in a spectrophotometer. For the enzyme and the substrate, the measurements got higher as the concentrations were higher, but the over measurements of the substrate were smaller than those of the enzyme. In the second test conducted, the medium concentration enzyme was tested under the temperatures; 4°C, 23°C, 37°C, and 60°C. The measurements in this test got higher as the temperature got higher, but did the measurements under 4°C were overall significantly higher than the other temperature measurements. Lastly, the last test conducted showed that the measurements of the substance with 0 and 1 drop of hydroxylamine inhibitor went up, but the measurements of the enzyme with 5 drops of hydroxylamine inhibitor stayed rather low and did not change much. In conclusion, these experiments showed that chemical reaction rates are sped up with higher concentrations of enzyme, substrate,

Chemical reactions make new things by rearranging other things. In a chemical reaction, the main change that occurs relates to the way atoms are bonded to each other, in order to change those connections, bonds must be broken and new bonds be formed.

A chemical reaction is a process by which atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form a different substance. Six types of chemical reactions are Synthesis, Combustion, Decomposition, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, and Acid/Bases. Each of these does something different, some combine to make a new product and some break down to make new products. Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product. A description of Synthesis reaction would be taking a mystery element, called “A” and combining it with “B” and the new product would be what you get when you combine those two elements (AB). An experiment you can do to help with your understanding of Synthesis is making slime because you are using multiple reactants(glue, borax, and water) to create a single new product(slime). Two real life examples of Synthesis reaction is water and your lungs. The product of Carbon mixed with Oxygen is CO2, which is found in your lungs. Water is a synthesis reaction because it is a product of Hydrogen and Oxygen (Anne Helmenstine, Synthesis Reactions and Examples, 2017).

A chemical reaction is a process in which elements or compounds react with one another to create new or different substances. There are two parts to a reaction. Those two parts are the products and the reactants. The reactants are the chemicals or chemical compounds that are going through the reaction itself. The products are chemical elements or chemical compounds that are produced as a result of the reactant or reactants reacting. There are four key indications that there’s a chemical reaction is taking place. Those four signs include a change in color and/or odor, formation of a precipitate or a gas, the release or absorption of energy (light, heat, electricity), and if the reaction is irreversible. Along with this information, there are ways to predict the products of a reaction.

In a substance the rate of reaction will be quicker if it has a large

Collision theory is the cause of all reactions between particles (atoms). For a reaction to occur the atoms have to collide with each other. Not just collide, but collide each other in the correct place and the correct orientation for the reaction to occur. These atoms then need to exceed activation energy; there are certain ways to increase all these. One of these ways is to increase the concentration of the solutions being reacted with each other because the higher the concentration, the higher the amount of atoms present therefore

This is a fair test because the only thing that is changed is the drop

It is known that different substances dissolve at different rates. The process of a substance dissolving is referred to as dissolution and is a chemical reaction between the solute and the solvent. A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances are converted into one or more substances that differ from the initial substance (Silberberg 2010). The initial substance is referred to as the reactant while the changed substance is referred to as the product. In other words, the reactants are the substances that take part in the chemical reaction while products are what is produced as a result of the reaction taking place (Mader, Windelspecht 2013).
