Why does the balance reading decrease?
What does the slope of the curve indicate about the reaction?
How long does the reaction take to complete?

georginawalters1 — 2022-05-04 01:18:03 UTC

Which reaction, R S or T was the fastest? How can you tell from the graph?

Magnesium chloride is formed when magnesium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid. Carla investigated the rate of this reaction by adding magnesium to excess dilute hydrochloric acid (25 cm3). Every 30 seconds she recorded the total volume of hydrogen produced until the reaction was complete. She plotted a graph of her results. Which is the correct graph of her results?

By increasing the concentration of reactants, there are more reacting particles present, making collisions more likely to occur, increasing the frequency of successful collisions, and so, increasing the rate of reaction.

g

2022-05-05 03:57:42 UTC

as the concentration increases, more reactant particles form. meaning there would be more frequent collisions leading to a higher possibility of sucessive collisions

The rate of reaction increases if the reactant has a higher concentration because there is more particles to react with in the given volume. This increases the frequency of successful collisions

A catalyst speeds up the reaction and provides different pathways and lowers the activation energy

Vihaan

2022-05-05 03:59:25 UTC

The concentration increases the rate of reaction as there would be more reactant particles moving together therefore causing a higher rate of reaction as there are more particles to collide with

Christian

2022-05-05 03:59:42 UTC

As the concentration of reactant particles increases, there is an increased chance of a collisions, thereby leading to an increased chance of successful collisions as there are now more particles to collide with in the same volume

Rohan

2022-05-05 04:00:23 UTC

The rate of reaction increases as the concentration increases because then there are more molecules for the particles to collide with and therefore there are more frequent successful collisions and more particles will react with each other.

Alex

2022-05-05 04:01:08 UTC

The rate of reaction increases as the concentration of reactants increase because there are more reactant particles that can collide. With more reactant particles there is a higher chance that more particles has reached the activation energy and there is also a high chance of more frequent successful collisions.

Eeshern

2022-05-05 04:01:50 UTC

As concentration increases in a given volume, reaction increases as there is more particles that can be collided into. This increases the chance of successful collisions.

Adam answer

adamthompson26 — 2022-05-05 04:01:56 UTC

The rate of reaction increases as the concentration of reactant increases because there are more reactive particles that are likely to collide at the activation energy. If there are more particles there is a higher chance of a collision. There is less space for the particles to move around so they collide with each other. And if they are at the activation energy they are likely to cause a reaction.

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy by providing alternate pathways without being used up in the process

Flora

If the concentration increases there would be more particles meaning this increases the chances of more frequent successful collision in a given volume

paisley

2022-05-05 04:02:08 UTC

because there are more particles in a given volume to react with when the reactant concentration is higher, the rate of reaction increases. This increases the freguency of a successful collision.

Shania

A catalyst accelerates the reaction, introduces new pathways, and reduces the activation energy.

blythe

2022-05-05 04:02:31 UTC

when the concentration of a reactant increases this means there are more particles. this means that there are more particles in a given volume which can have successful collisions, resulting in the rate of reaction also increasing.

Chloe

The rate of reaction increases as the concentration increases because there are more particles to collide together successfully

zileyang261 — 2022-05-05 04:02:50 UTC

as the concentration, there will be more reactant moving together and there will be more collision, this will increase the chances of a succesful collision

A catalyst speeds up rate of reaction by providing a different pathway and lowering the activation energy.

st

sammytierney26_1 — 2022-05-05 04:03:12 UTC

The rate of reaction increases because the amount of reactant in the space links to how many successful collisions will take place. If it is more concentrated, then there are more particles to successfully collide leading to the rate of reaction to increase.

Maia

When temperature is increased it causes faster kinetic energy in particles which makes them move faster. This will allow for more frequent successful collisions.

Shania

2022-05-05 04:04:18 UTC

Temperature. An increase in temperature typically increases the rate of reaction. An increase in temperature will raise the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Therefore, a greater proportion of molecules will have the minimum energy necessary for an effective collision

paisley

2022-05-05 04:04:33 UTC

When the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, causing them to move faster. This will result in frequent successful collisions.

Alex

2022-05-05 04:04:43 UTC

The balance reading decreases over time and comes to a stop because all of the reactant particles. Since reactant particles are slowly being used up, it decreases the chance of a successful collision.

The slope of the curve tells us that the reaction is decreasing at a decreasing rate. This is because the particles are slowly turning into product particles so the rate is slowing down.

It took 8 minutes to complete.

a catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction but does not get used up during the reaction and decreases the activation energy by providing a different pathway

Rohan

2022-05-05 04:04:55 UTC

The balance reading will decrease because there are less particles to react with each other when all of there are being used up.

The slope of the curve indicates that the reaction is decreasing at a decreasing rate so the particles are being used up slowly and the rate of reaction is decreasing.

The reaction takes about 8 minutes to complete.

Christian

2022-05-05 04:05:10 UTC

When the heat is increased so is the kinetic energy of the particles. This makes the rate of reaction increase as the particles move faster and it is easier for them to achieve activation energy and therefore lead to more frequent collisions

If you increase the temperature the particles will gain more kinetic energy causing them to move around faster which is increasing the rate of successful collisions

Alex

Reaction T was the fastest because the reactant particles turned into product particles in the least amount of time. We can tell because Reaction T ended just before 5 Minutes, whereas Reaction S and R ended after. Furthermore, we can tell by the steep gradient of Reaction T, that it happened the fastest.

a catalyst increases the rate of reaction by providing a pathway which lowers the activation energy. It is not used up in a reaction.

Chloe

2022-05-05 04:07:33 UTC

The balance reading decreases because there are less particles in the mixture. When there are less particles, it decreases the chance for a successful collision.
The slope is telling us that the reaction is decreasing at a decreasing rate. When the particles are being used up, the rate is slowing down
The reaction took 8 minutes to complete

Rohan

2022-05-05 04:07:43 UTC

Reaction T has the fastest reaction because the reaction completes at about 4.5 minutes whilst S completes at about 4.7 minutes and R completes at about 8 minutes. I can see this because the line does not go further down with the reading in grams it just goes across with time.

Adam

adamthompson26 — 2022-05-05 04:08:17 UTC

The balance reading gradually decreases because the reactant particles are being used up. This lowers the chance of a successful collision.

The slope of the curve indicates the rate of reaction is decreasing at a decreasing rate. This is because there are less reactive particles so there are less collisions.

It ends at 8 minutes.

sammytierney26_1 — 2022-05-05 04:08:32 UTC

T was the fastest because the mass changed in the least amount of time. This means that the reactants (successfully) collided more.

Maia

maiasmith26_1 — 2022-05-05 04:12:20 UTC

Collision theory states that the particles need a minimum amount of energy to successfully collide called the activation energy. Increasing the temperature increases the amount of energy each particles has so they reach the activation energy. They also have more Kinetic energy which will increases the frequency of collisions since they move faster, meaning that there will be a greater chance of a successful collision happing.

Alex

2022-05-05 04:12:20 UTC

By increasing the temperature, it gives the particles more KE. The KE makes the particles move around faster which leads to more frequent successful collisions. Furthermore, there will be more particles with the activation energy.

Reaction T was the fastest because it ended at 4.5 minutes, S was completed at 4.7 and R took 8. T also used up the most particles indicating it had a higher concentration of reactant particles. This would cause more successful collisions so it would react the quickest. The steep gradient of graph R also suggests a lot of the reactive particles were used up very quickly.

Because all of the reactant particles are there, the balance reading drops over time and stops. The possibility of a successful collision reduces as reactant particles are gradually reduced.

The slope of the curve is decreasing due to the fact that the particles are slowly converting into product particles, slowing down the rate.
