In addition, how long a reaction is observed for depends on the rate of reaction. Reactions can vary from being almost instantaneous to taking years to complete. In the lab, reactions are usually ...

In this activity, you will demonstrate this effect by measuring the rate of a different kind of chemical reaction: the dissolution of sodium bicarbonate from an effervescent antacid tablet in water.

We can use a gas syringe to measure the reaction of metals with dilute acid. When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. We can measure the rate of the ...

In particular, the measurements show that the reaction rate depends dramatically on whether the CH3CHOO is bent, with the CH3– and –OO ends pointing toward the same side, a conformation called ...

Students watch a video and do a quick activity to see that a catalyst can increase the rate of the breakdown (decomposition) of hydrogen peroxide. Students will then use salt as a catalyst in a ...

Students will then try to explain, on the molecular level, why the temperature affects the rate of the reaction. Supplement in-class learning with interactive, multimedia-rich Google Forms lesson ...

a technique to measure the total number of neutrons produced in a plasma discharge, which in turn gathers insight about the rate and yield of the reactions. Researchers at Consiglio Nazionale ...
