Written by Elijah Batchelder Reaction Order and Rate Laws 03.24.2017 Lab Partner: Jackson Mendenhall Lab Instructor: Nicole Capps Introduction In the following lab experiment, reactions will be induced in order to experimentally determine both the rate laws and the reaction orders of hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulfate in the synthesis of the two solutions. A rate law is an equation which can tell you how fast a reaction will take place, dependent on the concentrations of each solution involved. A reaction order, usually described as either zeroth, first, or second order, gives the magnitude of variance when the concentration of a solution changes. This lab will cultivate a deeper understanding of these concepts, as well …show more content…
They were given the labels of “HCl”, “Na2S2O3”, and “water”, as was done to the beakers. The “water” syringe was then used to extract 2 mL of water from the “water” beaker. The syringe was examined to verify that no air bubbles were made in the syringe. The water was then translated into Well #3. Next, the “HCl” syringe was used, taking 1 mL of HCl from the “HCl” beaker, and then translated into Well #3 as well. The same filling procedure above was used to fill the other wells, but with differing amounts of each solution. In Well #2, 1.5 mL of water and 1.5 mL of HCL was used. In Well #1, 0 mL of water and 3 mL of HCl was used. Once each well was filled, a stopwatch was prepared to time the reactions that would occur in the next steps. To begin the reactions, the “Na2S2O3” syringe was used to place 2 mL of Na2S2O3 into Well #1. As soon as the sodium thiosulfate was placed in the well, the stopwatch was started. The reaction was timed until the black “x” beneath the well was no longer visible. Once this point was reached, the timer was stopped and the time was recorded in Data Table #1. The same steps involving the addition of Na2S2O3 were repeated for Wells #2 and #3, using 2 mL of Na2S2O3 in each. The final times for each well was recorded in Data Table #1 in the appropriate blank. Once the first trial was completed for the first three experiments, a second trial was completed in Wells #4, #5, and #6 using the same procedure in order to increase accuracy. After each trial was conducted, each of the wells were emptied into the designated waste container and dried using a paper
Coursework Equipment List • Boiling tubes (8) I will use these because this is where I will mix both the sodium carbonate and the strontium nitrate in order to form the precipitate. I need 8 because I am going to add 8 different amounts of strontium nitrate (1-8cm³) to the 8cm³of sodium carbonate. • Measuring cylinder (1) I will use this to measure the 8cm³ of sodium carbonate and the varying amounts of strontium nitrate to put into the test tubes. • Sodium Carbonate (enough to fill 8 boiling tubes with 8cm³/64cm³)
In the first part of the experiment, Part A, the standard solutions were prepared. As a whole, the experiment was conducted by four people, however, for Part A, the group was split in two to prepare the two different solutions. Calibrations curves were created for the standard solutions of both Red 40 and Blue 1. Each solution was treated with a serial 2-fold dilution to gain different concentrations of each solution.
Procedure and Observations To begin the lab, first all the correct equipment and materials had to be collected
1) Percentage yield experiment: First we measured 20cm3 of sulphuric acid into a beaker using a measuring cylinder, this will help us determine the percentage yield at the end of the experiment. We then heated the beaker containing the sulphuric acid using a Bunsen burner in order to heat it up for the copper oxide to mix with. We then weighed out 1.02g of copper oxide and added it to the acid and stirred it whilst doing so, we did that until the liquid turned blue, this proves that the chemicals have mixed together. We then weighed this liquid which will help us determine the percentage yield. We then filtered the liquid off which gave us the amount we obtained.
The acid was allowed to be poured for a little longer before the flask was removed and taken to a lab bench with a buret that contained 0.1 M sodium hydroxide, and the amount of acid used was recorded. The sodium hydroxide was added into the flask in small amounts
Each of those wells are dropped with potassium permanganate (158 g/mole), potassium dichromate (294 g/mole) and methylene blue (374g/mole). The diameters of the three drops were recorded at a three minute interval for thirty
Rate of Reaction Lab Aim: To conduct a lab that investigates how different concentrations of hydrochloric acid (HCL) have an effect on the rate of reaction when mixed with Calcium Carbonate Chips (CaCO3) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2). Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of hydrochloric acid, the less time it will take for the reaction to occur. This links back to the collision theory which states that if a system has more collisions, there will be a greater number of molecules bouncing into each other.
The technique utilized in this experiment was titration and is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by reaction with a known concentration of solution. In a titration, the titrant is placed into the burette and the analyte poured into the conical flask using a pipette. Titration involves adding a small amount of titrant slowly to the analyte to achieve the equivalence point. The equivalence point is when the moles of standard soluton are same as the solution of unknown concentration and is produced at a pH of 7. The indicator used in this experiment was Phenolphthalein which determined the end point, which was shown as a form of colour change.
= 10^-3 M = 1,000 mL Here C1,C2; are the first and second concentrations of solution V1 and V2 ; are the required and current volumes. The impeller turned on and DDA, and tap water left to be mixed properly with water for 2 minutes. Approximately 150 grams of quartz added into the solution.
Then the time of each reaction was recorded when the solution was completed and turned clear. Reaction rate was then calculated using the initial concentration of I2 and time recorded. If reaction rate increases, the reaction is done faster and the reaction time decreases. The first order reaction is a reaction depending only on the concentration of two reactants. Determination of the rate law and activation energy of a chemical reaction requires a number of steps.
• After the above was assembled the still head was connected to the condenser which had the tubing connected to allow water in and out. • The condenser was then connected to the receiver bend with a joint clip and a sample vial was placed just below its opening. • The apparatus was then clamped at two points the flask and the condenser. • A sample of (~30mL) of liquid mixture A was collected in a round bottom flask that contained anti-bumping granules.
The purpose: To investigate the rate of the reaction between Magnesium and different concentrations of HCL. Hypothesis: If the concentration of HCL increases, the rate of the reaction between HCL and Magnesium decreases. Scientific Explanation:
Introduction/Background: Kinetics is the study of how fast chemical reactions occur and the mechanisms of them2. The rate law relates the rate of a reaction to the concentrations of reactants (and catalysts) raised to various powers. The rate law is shown in Equation 11. Rate = k[A]x[B]y[C]z (Eq.1)
Introduction The goal of the experiment is to examine how the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid and Sodium thiosulphate is affected by altering the concentrations. The concentration of Sodium thiosulfate will be altered by adding deionised water and decreasing the amount of Sodium thiosulphate. Once the Sodium thiosulphate has been tested several times. The effect of concentration on the rate of reaction can be examined in this experiment.
The first example used for this research is the Chapita Wells Unit SWD injection. The Chapita Wells Unit SWD injection well is one of the wells with a high record of injected fluids in the Birds Nest, and was used in this study as Example A. This well injected approximately 3 million bbl in the year of 2010. To determine how long will take the Chapita Wells Unit SWD to fill the upper section of the Birds Nest aquifer. The following calculations were done: U =
