The Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide
What factors vary the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide when a fixed
mass of catalyst is added to it?

Ø Burette
Ø Clamp
Ø A bowl of water
Ø Test tube with delivery tube
Plan- method
============
Ø Measure the catalyst and the H O .
Ø Then pour the catalyst into a test tube along with the H O and
attach the delivery tube.
Ø Start the stopwatch and record how long it takes the reaction to
take place and for all the water to empty out of the burette,
recording the results every 5 seconds.
Pre-Tests
We used our pre-test results to decide the amount of catalyst to use
in our actual experiment.
In our pre-test, the burette emptied in 14.85 seconds making it
impossible to record the results every 5 seconds because it was too
fast. Judging by our pre-tests, we decided that for our actual
experiment, we would use 0.1g of catalyst and 10cm of 10 vols. H2O .
We would achieve 10 vols. by using 5ml of 20 vols. and 5ml of water.
Prediction
I predict that the higher the concentration of H2O2 , the quicker the
reaction will take place. This is because of the collision theory.
There are more particles, therefore they collide more.
We will obtain a good range of results by doing the experiment twice
with each volume of Hydrogen Peroxide.

this is the best volume to use as it is about ¾ of a test tube full,
We finally took 1ml of the 0.01% solution from test tube using the glucose pipette and adding it to test tube 4, we then used the H2O pipette and added 9ml of H2O to test tube 4 creating 10ml of 0.001% solution.
Each subsequent trial will use one gram more. 2.Put baking soda into reaction vessel. 3.Measure 40 mL vinegar. 4.Completely fill 1000 mL graduated cylinder with water.
5.) One at a time, place your test tubes in the water bath and heat the first test tube to 25 , the second to 50 , the third to 75, and the last to 100 degrees c. Remeber to stir with your stirring rod every so often.

I will not add a catalyst to my solution and I will not stir my solution. · I will use 25cm3 of hydrochloric acid. · I will use 1g of calcium carbonate.
* In the first dialysis tube (bag A), we would insert ten mL of one
2. In the large beaker, put water and boil it completely. After that, remove the beaker from heat. 3. Sample tubes (A-D) should be labeled and capped tightly.
We have no gases and solids involved, therefore it is easy to deal with solutions. Similarly, the use of a catalyst complicates things, and if used incorrectly could alter the outcome of the experiment. The theory behind this experiment is that increasing the concentration can increase the rate of the reaction by increasing the rate of molecular collisions. GRAPH I will place the reaction mixture on a paper with a black cross drawn on it. When the cross is completely obscured, the reaction will be finished.
1.In the lab experiment, the instructions told us to adulterate the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and Chlorine with some water.

A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction without affecting the products of the reaction and remains unchanged. This experiment focused on increasing the temperature of hydrochloric acid when it reacts with magnesium. The volume of hydrogen gas produced. Independent variables: The temperature of HCl gas will decrease and increase throughout the experiment.
