Chemistry Rate Of Reaction Flashcards
What is the aim
To investigate the relationship between concentration and rate of reaction
What factors does the rate of reaction depend on
Temperature, reactant concentrations, surface area of solid reactants and presence or absence of a catalyst
What will you do in this investigation
How the concentration of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of reaction when added to the magnesium.
How will you measure the rate of reaction?
By observing the rate at which hydrogen gas is produced
What is the purpose of the bung and delivery tube in method 1
To prevent the escape of hydrogen gas
What is the point of the black paper cross in method 2
To provide a reference point for visibility
Dependant variable meaning
The factor that is being measured or tested and is expected to change as a result of manipulation of the independent variable
What is the dependent variable in the investigation on the relationship between concentration and rate of reaction
Volume of hydrogen gas produced
What is the independent variable in the investiagtion
Concentration of the hydrochloric acid
What is the control variable in the investiagtion
Temperature of the reaction
