Trang Nguyen Lab Report Chemistry 162: Reaction Kinetics Lab The purpose of this experiment: In this experiment, students aim to determine the rate law of the reaction by finding the time for each trial of different runs occurring. Upon studying initial reaction rates at varied reactant concentration, students will give out conclusion about the effect of the concentration towards the reaction rate. Next, the effect of the metal ion catalyst on the reaction rate will be studied by adding a dilute Cu(NO3)2 to the reaction. Finally, students will determine the effect of temperature on the reaction rate by carrying out the reaction at different hot and temperature, then calculate the activation energy. The procedure: Cabasco-Cebrian, T.; Loftus, C.; Schulz, J.; Villarba, M.; Wick, D. “Lab Manual for CHEM 162” Winter 2011, Department of Chemistry, Seattle Central Community College, pp. x-y.
