    .Experiment for Chemistry Coursework For this investigation I am looking at how the concentration of acid can change the reaction and how I can explain this using collision theory. My Prediction: I predict that the greater amount of concentration the faster the reaction will take place. Therefore, particles in the two compounds will collide faster. Due to my prediction if it is correct, I expect to see the cross on the paper disappear faster. As I already know that increasing one quantity will

    Asteroid Collision With The Earth Experiment ---------- To investigate the effects of an asteroid impact on Earth through a small-scale simulation. I shall be measuring the depth of the crater caused by a steel ball bearing being dropped from different heights into sand. I shall be dropping a steel ball into sand to simulate an asteroid collision, because the asteroid would be roughly spherical and have a high density, like the steel ball. The sand will react similarly to how

    Collision Theory Experiment 1. Temperature increasers the number of collisions. When the temperature is increased the particles all move quicker. If they're moving quicker, they are going to have more collisions. [IMAGE] 2. Concentration (or pressure) increases the number of collision. If the solution is made more concentrated it means there are more particles of reactants knocking about between the water molecules, which make collisions between the important particles more likely.

    like to present and explain some vocabulary concept and words. A collision, transfers momentum or kinetic energy from one object to another object. There are two types of collisions, elastic collision and inelastic collision. An elastic collision is a collision that occurs when two objects bounce apart when they collide; the total kinetic energy in the system is the same before and after the collision. For example, elastic collision occurs when equally massive balls move in the same direction; in

    within cars to aid in the avoidance of collisions altogether. Examples of these technologies include blind spot detection, backup cameras, 360-degree cameras, and autonomous driving. Many of these newer safety features are there to avoid collisions. However, whenever a collision does occur, there is not much there to protect passengers in the rear of the car. Looking into this, there is evidence that shows that rear passengers do obtain injuries in collisions and pose the threat of contributing to

    Resulting Structures of Galactic Collisions In the visible universe, there is one type of event that is often responsible for a good deal of the varied phenomena we observe across the cosmos. A type of event whose effects are both destructive and creative. This event is the interaction of two or more galaxies. The results of a galactic interaction are so varied that each event is unique. Therefore, only a select few examples will be described in the following pages. An examination of the term

    Collision Avoidance: ADS-B or TCAS INTRODUCTION Background Collision avoidance is something that has been a problem in aviation for a long time. Most of the flights conducted today rely on the see and avoid concept and ground radar. Both of which have their flaws. The FAA predicts that mid-air collisions will increase by 300% over the next 20 years due to the increase in flights being flown by all areas of the aviation community (Kraus xiv). Civil aircraft have had onboard protection from

    of time. Reactions take place because of collisions, the particles (can be atoms, ions or molecules) collide, and a reaction occurs between particles. If there are more collisions, the reaction will be much quicker. But it also depends on whether the collision has enough energy, to be successful. If there is not enough energy, then the collision will be unsuccessful, but if there is, it will be successful, and a reaction will occur. Unsuccessful collisions take place when the activation energy is

    more spread out, this results in fewer collisions, so therefore there will be a result of fewer successful collisions. Which will then make the reaction taking place speed go slow, so there would be a graph with a rather slow reaction taking place. If I was to do the experiment with a high concentration the particles are crowed close together and therefore it would collide with each other more often, which will give me a result of successful collisions. So for my experiment I predict that the

    The variables I plan to control 1. Surface area: The surface area of each marble chip should be kept relatively the same because due to collision theory if more surface area is available the number of particles of solid reactant available for collision will increase. Therefore more collisions can occur, and it is likely there will be more collisions with sufficient energy to successfully lead to a reaction. I might not be able to keep the surface area of my marble chips exactly the same

    of an ezyme is denatured it no longer functions as a catalyst. COLLISION THEORY 'Rate of reaction simply depends on how hard and often the reacting particles collide with each other.' The basic idea is that particles have to collide with each other in order to react. MORE COLLISIONS INCREASE THE RATE OF REACTION. 1) Temperature increases the number of collisions. 2) Concentration (or pressure) in creases the number of collisions. 3) Sizes of solid particles (or surface area) incr... ... middle

    successful collisions. If you increase the concentration, then that means that there are more particles in the same volume to react. Therefore, there will be more successful collisions per second. If there are more successful reactions, therefore the rate is also increased. When there is a high concentration, the reactants have more successful collisions per second; therefore the rate of reaction is quicker. When there is a low concentration, The reactants have less successful collisions per second

    because it will cause more collisions between the atoms and the electrons. The increase in collisions would obviously cause the resistance to rise. Secondly, the length of the wire is a factor. The longer the wire, the longer it will take electrons to get to the end of the wire. This is because there will be more collisions between electrons and atoms. So, the length of the wire should be directly measured to the resistance if not then there will be fewer collisions. This would be very easy

    and if the collision has enough 'activation energy'. The two reactant particles, in this case magnesium particles and hydrochloric acid particles, must collide with each other on the correct 'collision course'. If this does not occur then no chemical reaction will take place. The reaction must also have enough energy, this can be affected by temperature, the more heat the particles have the faster they move and so the more energy therefore more chance of successful collisions. If there is
