Experiment 1:
This experiment tested how temperature affects reaction rate. The tablet
reacted faster in hot water than in cold water. This shows that higher
temperature increases reaction speed.
Data:
Hot water: 48 seconds
Cold water: 126 seconds
Observation: Hot water bubbled faster, cold water was way slower
Key concept:
Increasing temperature increases both the frequency and energy of
molecular collisions. The Particles moved faster, so they collided more
often and with enough energy to overcome activation energy, and it
became more collisions
Experiment 2:
This experiment tested how concentration affects rection rate. The
reaction with pure vineger was faster than the diluted one, but the diluted
one finished bubbling before the pure one did and also the balloon was
inflated faster in the pure vineger.
Data:
Pure vineger stoped bubbling in 1 min 14 seconds
Diluted vineger stopped bubbling in 1 min 5 seconds
Observation: even though the diluted vineger took less time to stop
bubbling . The pure vinegar inflated the ballon faster when i put the
baking soda
Key concept: Making the concentration higher increases the collision
frequency so more particles collided and it made faster reaction(it inflated
the balloon faster).
Experiment 2:
This experiment how surface area affects rection rate. The crushed tablet
reacted faster than the whole tablet. This shows that increasing surface
are speeds the reactions.
Data
Whole tablet: 1 min 59 seconds
Crushed tablet: 1 min 20 seconds
Observation: crushed tablets disolved way faster
Key concept: Increasing surface area allows more collisions to occur at the
same time. When there is more collision the reaction speeds up. That why
the crushed tablet disolved faster than the whole tablet.
