Rates of Reaction Adrian, Fraser, Roderick, Emma
Introduction Define 1) Reaction -Indications 2) Rate of Reaction Influencing factors: -Concentration -Temperature -Catalyst
Objective • Determine how concentration, temperature and catalysts affect the rate of reaction
Safety Precautions • Wear safety goggles at all times • Long hair tied back • Wash hands before and after each experiment Third Experiment: Catalyst • Chemicals used are explosive • No open flames
Experiment: Temperature • How does Temperature affect the rate of reaction? • Alka-Seltzer tablets in different temperatures of water
Temperature: Procedure • Place 250 mL of water into a beaker • Record the temperature • Gently place the tablet into the beaker • Record the time taken to dissolve • Repeat for hot and cold water
Temperature: Actual Affects • When the temperature of a substance rises, the particles gain energy • With more energy, the particles move faster • They then collide with the other substance at an increased rate • Less time for the reaction to occur
Sources of Error • Temperature • Recorded values could be out • Exact Time • Hard to tell the tablet had completely dissolved
Modifications for the Future For more accurate results: • Conduct the 3 trials at once • Add more temperatures to test
Temperature: Conclusion • Temperature directly affects the rate of reaction. • temperature = particle movement • particle movement = collision • collision = rate of reaction • Opposite occurs for a decrease in temperature
Concentration Experiment • Particle Collision theory: explains how reactions occur, and why there are different rates of reactions based on differences of characteristics
Concentration Experiment • Concentration: the amount of a given solute in a solution • Concentration = number of moles / Volume of solution (L) • Unit = mol / L or M • Can also be calculated in Volume / Volume percentage. (Volume of solute / Volume of Solution)
Procedure • Part A: 1) Tablespoon of baking soda in beaker 2) Mix together 10 mL of vinegar with 5 drops of water 3) Pour the vinegar/water mixture into baking soda 4) Observe and record
Procedure • Part B: • Place a tablespoon of baking soda in beaker 2) Mix together 5 mL of water with 5mL of vinegar 3) Pour the vinegar/water mixture into baking soda 4) Observe and record
Procedure • Part C: 1) Place a tablespoon of baking soda in beaker 2) Mix together 10 mL of water and 5 drops of vinegar 3) Pour the vinegar/water mixture into the baking soda 4) Observe and record
Observations • The reaction that took place was seen like the one shown below
Vinegar vs Water Molarity (mol/L) Time (seconds) Qualitative Observations High Concentration 10 mL vinegar 5 drops of water 0.853 M 15.7 Bubbles Formed Fizzing No baking soda leftover Medium Concentration 5 mL vinegar 5 mL water 0.4375 M 20.95 Less bubbles Less fizzing Some baking soda leftover Low Concentration 5 drops of vinegar 10 mL water 0.0213 M 23.66 Even less bubbles Even less fizzing More baking soda leftover Observations
Sources of error • Time recorded not exact • Hard to see whether reaction complete • Impurities could have resulted in differences in reaction
How concentration affects rate of reaction • Higher concentration = more particles of reactants available • More particles = higher frequency • Higher frequency = faster rate of reaction • Concentration is in direct relation to Rate of reaction

Modifications to Experiment • Run all three tests at the same time • Allows for better comparison • More trials • If more tests were conducted = accurate trend
Conclusion • Concentration in direct relation to Rate of reaction • Higher concentration allows more collisions • Lower concentration limits collisions
Application of Concentration • Cleaning detergents • Concentrated soluble soaps such as laundry soaps
Experiment: Catalyst Define Catalyst: changes the minimum energy needed for a reaction to occur is not consumed by the reaction
Catalyst in Our Experiment Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide 2 H2O2 (aq) + MgO2 (s) → O2(g) + 2 H2O(l) + MgO2 (s) Hydrogen peroxide Manganese dioxide
Procedure Part A Hydrogen Peroxide in test tube Place balloon on top Part B Hydrogen Peroxide and Manganese Dioxide in test tube Place balloon on top
Error and Modifications Oxygen gas could have escaped Contaminants Measure exact quantities used Measure size of inflation (diameter)
Conclusion By itself, the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen is slow Manganese dioxide allows this decomposition to take place rapidly The oxygen produced inflated the balloon on the test tube 2 H2O2 (aq) + MgO2 (s) → O2(g) + 2 H2O(l) + MgO2 (s)
Chemical Industry: -more $$ if they make products faster Ex. -Manufacturers of Nitric Acid use catalyst: Platinum -Very expensive metal, but only need small quantity which can be reused Estimate: -90% all commercially produced chemical products involve catalysts at some stage Other: -Energy Processing -Bulk/Fine Chemicals -Food Processing Applications of Catalysts
Rate of Reaction: Overall Conclusion • It was shown form the three experiments that temperature, concentration and the presence of catalysts, affect the rate of reaction Concentration and Temperature -the higher the concentration or temperature, the faster the reaction takes place Catalysts -the presence of positive catalysts, such as Manganese Dioxide, speeds the rate ofreaction
Further research Conduct more experiments -Surface Area -Pressure -Negative catalysts -other factors
No Questions. Perfect. Now we have some questions for you.
What is the reason behind the rate of reaction changing with Temperature and Concentration?
What was the catalyst used in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide ?
