Experiment 1: Rate of Reaction | Baamboozle - Baamboozle

One day, Grace went grocery shopping at Aeon. She left the groceries in the car and continues to shop for hours. When she reached home, she found that the milk had gone sour. Why do we need to keep the milk in refrigerator?

Milk contains bacteria which will react with lactose in milk. In refrigerator, the temperature is low so the reaction between the bacteria and milk is slower.

Which reaction will occur faster, with catalyst or without catalyst?

With catalyst

Deduce the relationship between the concentration of reactant with rate of reaction

The higher the concentration, the faster the rate of reaction

What does 1/t represent?

Rate of reaction

A group of students carried out a study of changing concentration of X with reaction rate. Graph 1/t against concentration of X is shown in the Figure above. What is the relationship between times of reaction with rate of reaction?

When time of reaction increase, the rate of reaction decrease (inversely proportional)

State the formula used to calculate the concentration of sodium thiosulphate (refer to Table 1.1 in lab manual)

M1V1 = M2V2

List all the precautions of the experminent

1) Measure the volume of solution, time and temperature accurately 2) Stir the solution properly 3) Observe 'X' mark from top of the conical flask

How is the effect of temperature on reaction rate studied in this experiment?

By carrying out a reaction under different temperature

Define catalyst. State the catalyst used in this experiment.

Catalyst is a substance that increase the rate of reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Managanese sulphate (MnSO4)

State the factors affecting rate of reaction

concentration, temperature, catalyst and particle size

What is the unit for reaction rate?

M/time

Define reaction rate

Rate is the change of concentration with time
