Experiment 2, Factors Affecting Reaction Rate
REPORT
PART A. Nature of the Reactants
For 1, 2, and 3, use simple terms (i.e. very slow, fast, no bubbles, etc.)
Rate of bubbling with Cu+HCl
Rate of bubbling with Mg+HCl
Rate of bubbling with Al+HCl
Rank the metals in order of reactivity, starting with the most reactive: Al > Cu
PART B. Temperature of the Reactants
Temperature Time
Warm High bath
Low Room 24°C
Cold 4°C
Plot time (y) vs. temperature (x) using the Microsoft Excel program.
Print and attach a copy of your Excel scatter plot to your laboratory report.
What is the qualitative relationship between the time it takes for the permanganate ion to disappear and the temperature?
From your graph, estimate the amount of time it would take for the purple color to disappear if the temperature were 8°C.
