Rates of Reaction Flashcards
rate of reaction
the rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration per unit time of any one reactant or product
MONITORING THE ARTE OF PRODUCTION OF OXYGEN FROM HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, USING MANGANESE DIOXIDE AS A CATALYST
theory behind experiment
hydrogen peroxide decomposes slowly into water and oxygen gas, the rate of decomposition can be greatly increased with the addition of the catalyst, manganese dioxide
MONITORING THE ARTE OF PRODUCTION OF OXYGEN FROM HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, USING MANGANESE DIOXIDE AS A CATALYST
equation
H2O2 -MnO2-> H2O + 1/2 O2

where do you place the manganese oxide?
in a weighing bottle in the hydrogen peroxide solution
MONITORING THE ARTE OF PRODUCTION OF OXYGEN FROM HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, USING MANGANESE DIOXIDE AS A CATALYST
first step
knock the weighing bottle into the hydrogen peroxide using the cotton thread and stop clock started immediately

where do you collect the oxygen gas
from the inverted graduated cylinder (downward displacement of water)

conclusion
the rate of the reaction at the start of the experiment was very fast, however as time went on the rate began to slow down and eventually stopped (level graph)
how to measure average rate
total volume of oxygen/total time
to find instantaneous rate
draw a tangent to the cur
find the slope of the tangent
5 factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction
nature of chemicals (ionic/covalent) particle size (one is solid) concentration temperature catalysts
which are faster in general ionic or covalent reactions
ionic
why are ionic reactions usually faster
coming together of ions vs bonds formed again
the larger the size of the particle
the slower the reaction - less surface area
if finely divided particles are used
a dust explosion may happen
5 conditions necessary for a dust explosion to happen
dust must be: combustible, dry
oxygen present
enclosed space
source of ignition
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
reactants
calcium carbonate (marble) and dilute hydrochloric acid
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
equation
CaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
first step
weigh out conical flask and cotton wool
weigh marble chips and add to flask with cotton in mouth
weigh put dilute HCl and quicly add to flask (remove plug and put back)
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
after HCl added
quickly put flask on electronic balance and start the stop clock
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
stop clock has started
take mass every 30 seconds
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
what is the loss in mass due to
the carbon dioxide lost through the cotton wool plug
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
how to calculate loss in mass
subtracting each mass from the initial mass before reaction started
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
graph
loss in mass over time
HOW PARTICLE SIZE CAN AFFECT REACTION RATE
how to prove for particle size
graph results for different sizes of marble chips
the greater the concentration
the faster the reaction, generally
