Title: The Effects of Temperature on the Reaction Rate Abstract:
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effects of temperature on the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and magnesium (Mg). The reaction was carried out by measuring the evolution of hydrogen gas (H2) over a certain period of time. By varying the temperature of the reactants, the reaction rate was observed and analyzed. The results indicate that as the temperature increases, the reaction rate also increases, suggesting that temperature has a significant impact on the rate of chemical reactions.
Introduction:
Chemical reactions occur when reactant molecules collide with each other, leading to the formation of new products. The rate at which these reactions occur depends on several factors, including temperature. When the temperature of reactants is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules also increases. This causes more collisions between reactant particles, resulting in a higher reaction rate.
Method:
1. Carefully measured 50mL of hydrochloric acid (HCl) using a graduated cylinder.
2. Poured the HCl into a test tube.
3. Placed a small piece of magnesium (Mg) strip into the test tube using a pair of tongs.
4. Quickly sealed the test tube with a stopper that had a delivery
tube attached.
5. Inserted the delivery tube into a beaker filled with water and inverted the test tube.
6. Placed the beaker on a tripod stand over a Bunsen burner.
7. Observed and recorded the time taken for the formation of hydrogen gas (H2) bubbles to stop rising in the delivery tube.
8. Repeated steps 1-7 for different temperatures: room temperature, 40°C, 60°C, 80°C, and 100°C.
Results:
- At room temperature (25°C), it took 5 minutes for the hydrogen gas bubbles to stop rising.
- At 40°C, it took 3 minutes for the hydrogen gas bubbles to stop rising.
- At 60°C, it took 2 minutes for the hydrogen gas bubbles to stop rising.
- At 80°C, it took 1 minute for the hydrogen gas bubbles to stop rising.
- At 100°C, it took 30 seconds for the hydrogen gas bubbles to stop rising.
Discussion:
The results of the experiment clearly demonstrate that an increase in temperature leads to a faster reaction rate. As the temperature increased from room temperature to 100°C, the time taken for the hydrogen gas bubbles to stop rising decreased significantly. This indicates that an increase in temperature increases the rate of the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium.
This can be explained by the collision theory. According to this
theory, the rate of a chemical reaction is determined by the frequency and effectiveness of collisions between reactant particles. Increasing the temperature provides more kinetic energy to the reactant particles, leading to a higher frequency of collisions. Moreover, the increase in kinetic energy means that a larger proportion of the collisions have enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier and result in a successful reaction. Conclusion:
In this experiment, it was found that increasing the temperature of the reactants resulted in a faster reaction rate between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. The results support the collision theory and demonstrate the significant impact of temperature on the rate of chemical reactions.。
