  • Rate Law: Rate Equation For A Chemical Interaction

    1328 Words  | 3 Pages

    The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with concentrations or pressures of reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).[1] For many reactions the rate is given by a power law such as where [A] and [B] express the concentration of the species A and B, respectively (usually in moles per liter (molarity, M)). The exponents x and y are the partial reaction orders and must be determined experimentally…………

    1842 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate Introduction: In this experiment, we utilized the ability for the iodide ion to become oxidized by the persulphate ion. Our general reaction can be described as: (NH4)2S2O8 + 2KI à I2 + (NH4)2SO4 + K2SO4 (1a) However, we know that in an aqueous solution, all of these compounds except iodine will dissociate into their ionic components.

    Investigate The Relationship Between Surface Area and Rate Of Reaction Introduction The rate of reaction (reaction velocity) may be defined as the rate of change of concentration of a stated reactant or product. The rate of a reaction is found by measuring the amount of a reactant used up per unit of time or the amount of a product produced per unit of time. A reaction can be made to go faster or slower by changing a number of factors. In order for a reaction to occur certain things are necessary: particles

    The relationship between the concentration of Sodium Thiosulphate and the reaction rate with Hydrochloric acid Introduction The rate of reaction is measured by finding the quantity of product made in a certain time. The rate of reaction can be made faster by an increase of temperature, adding a catalyst, increasing concentration or pressure or making the reactants surface area larger. An increase in temperature causes the particles of the reactants to gain more energy and move faster. Collision
