...This lab report identified different types of reactions in various chemical changes. Through the five experiments completed in class, the creation of bubbles indicating a new gas formed, colour change, and production of light were observed. From reactions A and B, it can be concluded that single displacement reactions are indicated when three elements are present, two of which are of like charges that switch places during the chemical reaction. Both reactions involved an element with a negative charge (Cl) and two elements with positive charges (Cu (II) & Al and H & Mg), which then traded places during the reaction. As well, from reactions C and D, it can be concluded that double displacements occur when four elements (or two compounds) are...

...Analysis of a Chemical Reaction Procedure Questions: What do you observe? We observed a white, chalky precipitate forming in the limewater test tube. What does this result indicate? This result indicates that carbon dioxide gas was formed by heating the test tube of NaHCO3. What did you observe in the test tube that you heated? We observed the condensation of water vapour on the mouth of the heated test tube. What does this indicate? This result indicates that water molecules were formed during the reaction. Based on these two qualitative observations which of the four possible reactions can be rules out? Synthesis can be ruled out due to the formation of multiple products from a single substance. Single displacement can be ruled out because the products were both compounds formed from a single substance. Double displacement can be ruled out because there was only one reactant. Lastly, combustion can be ruled out because the reactant did not require...

...Chemical Reactions Types of Chemical reactions Lots of reactions take place around us in everyday life. Reactions are quit important in chemistry and in science generally. Chemical reaction is the changing of substances to other substances by the breaking of bonds in reactants and the formation of new bonds in products. There are different types of chemical reaction: 1. Combination reaction 2. Decomposition reaction 3. Single-replacement reaction 4. Double-replacement reaction 5. Combustion reaction Combination reaction is a chemical change in which two or more substances to form a new single substance. The reactants of most common combination reactions are either two elements or two compounds. The product a combination reaction is always a compound. Decomposition reaction is a chemical change in which one substance is broken down into two or more products. These products can be any combination of elements and compounds. It is usually very difficult to predict the products of decomposition reactions. Single-replacement reaction is a chemical change in which the atoms of less active element are replaced with atoms of elements which are more active. Usually the reactants are substance and element. Whenever one metal will replace another metal from a compound can be determined by the relative activities of the two metals. For predicting the products of this type of reaction we have the metal activity table, which is expressed above. Li K Ca Na Mg Al ...

...A chemical reaction is where two or more substances come together and pops, fizzes, and in some cases explode! Alka Seltzer is a type of chemical reaction where you put water and carbon dioxide gas. Equation . When Alka-Seltzer tablets are dissolved in water, bicarbonate forms (from the sodium bicarbonate), which in turn reacts with hydrogen (from citric acid) to form water and carbon dioxide gas. “ In The bicarbonate reaction project you will find out for yourself by plopping Alkaseltzer tablets into water at different temperatures, and timing how long it ta of the bicarbonate reaction? In thiS how is temperature related to this bicarbonate reaction? In order for the reaction shown above to occur, the bicarbonate ions have to come into contact with the hydrogen ions.” Molecules in a solution are in constant motion, and are constantly colliding with one another. The hydrogen and bicarbonate ions must collide at the right angle and with enough energy for the reaction to occur. The temperature of a solution is a measure of the average motion (kinetic energy) of the molecules in the solution. The higher the temperature, the...

...Science A Chemical Reaction is a process where reactants chemically combine to form new compounds, by rearranging atoms, which are known as products. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that atoms cannot be created nor destroyed. A Decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction. It is used in airbags located in cars which within inflates less than a second due to an initial decomposition reaction producing nitrogen gas. It is important as there are decomposition reactions to occur because it provides immediate cushioning after car crashes hence saving many lives. It is also important since airbags are required to use few reactants it is needed to also give an effective protection at the same time and therefore sodium azide is used to produce 60L of nitrogen gas and moreover is able to fit inside of the steering wheel at the same time thus it is more effective. The use of sodium azide not only protects humans but it also does not produce any toxic chemicals to harm humans. Decomposition works in airbags by the sodium azide powder placed inside the airbag chamber. When the car or vehicle undergoes a collision, three chemical reactions takes place, where sodium azide rapidly decomposes to form nitrogen gas and sodium metal, by a small spark which would heat the molecules of Sodium Azide which then makes it fall apart and produce a less toxic compound called nitrogen gas. In this the Word Equation for this Chemical Reaction is: Sodium Azide(s) Nitrogen (g) + Sodium(s) ...

...Conclusion A chemical reaction is the interaction of 2 or more reactants that produces one or more new substances. The reactants in this experiment were distilled water and Alka-Seltzer tablets. Water contains H2O, and the ingredients in Alka-Seltzer are aspirin, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). When sodium bicarbonate is placed in water, it dissociates into sodium (Na) and Bicarbonate (HCO3). When the bicarbonate splits apart, it reacts with the hydrogen ions from the citric acid. This forms carbon dioxide and water. When Alka-Seltzer and water react; it forms Carbon Dioxide Gas. The reactions forms when small bubbles form, and fizzing occurs. This must be visible to the eye, and the fizzing must also be heard. Increasing or decreasing the number of Alka-Seltzer tablets did change the...

...Introduction. This is an experiment to investigate into the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) and dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl). The formula for this reaction is: Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) 2NaCl (aq) + S(s) + SO2 (g) + H2O (l). This makes the products Sodium Chloride, Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur and water Rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place. Some reaction can take less than a second and other can take over millions of years. During a reaction, we can measure the rate of reaction. The rate of reactions depends on the types of molecules that are combining. There is another thing in rates of reaction called the collision theory. Substances in the liquid, aqueous and gaseous phase consist of particles in rapid and constant motion. The rate of a chemical reaction depends on three factors; the first is - Collision Frequency If a chemical reaction is to happen between two particles, they must first collide. The number of collisions between particles per unit time is known as the collision frequency of the system. This then can be altered by changing the concentration of reactants, total pressure, temperature or the size of the reacting particles. These are all the factors in general that have distinct effects on rates of reaction. The second factor in the collision theory is -Collision Energy Not all collisions result in chemical reactions. Most of the time the colliding particles just bounce off each other. These...

...effect that enzyme concentration has on reaction time and the effect that substrate concentration has on enzyme reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts that catalyze different chemical reactions. In general, enzymes are proteins and they are each specific to specific chemical reaction. In order for enzymes to process properly, they should maintain a specific three dimensional structure. When enzymes function, they combine with their substrates (reactant) to form susbtrate-enzyme complex. Then this complex converts into a product and unaltered enzyme. Substrate + Enzyme Substrate-Enzyme Complex Product + Enzyme OR Substrate –Enzyme Product (From this equation, in general, the reaction of enzyme is irreversible.) Some of the factors that affect the rate of reaction are temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, product concentration, etc. The rate of reaction is affected by the level of pH. The extreme level of pH can denature enzyme and result loss of its action. The optimum pH is 14 and this is the level of pH where the rate of reaction is the highest. Temperature also affects the rate of reaction. As temperature increases, the rate of reaction increases as well; however, it increases until the optimum temperature. After optimum temperature, the enzyme denatured. The concentration of enzyme and substrate affect the rate of reaction. In theory, the higher the concentration of substrate, the faster the reaction rate processes. This is because when...
