Lab experiment

Using robust details and ample evidence, create a reflection paragraph that describes 4 learning objectives you met while performing this experiment. View the learning objectives from the lab manual provided and select four to focus your writing on. Make this a well-constructed paragraph by including an introduction and conclusion sentences, avoiding bulleted lists. Challenge yourself to meet a 250-word count goal.

  • Describe the main factors that influence the rate of a chemical reaction (reactant concentration, temperature, solvent, use of catalyst), and give examples of their effect
  • Assess the reaction rate of simple reactions by examining concentration data over time.
  • Explain the relation between temperature and reaction rate
  • Describe the relation between collision theory and activation energy.
  • Interpret reaction energy diagrams, and relate them to energy changes during the course of a reaction.
  • Suggest a suitable experimental setup for measuring the kinetics of a reaction.
