Summary

The objective of this experiment is to determine the effects of concentration, temperature

and catalyst on the reaction rate of the solutions. The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed
at which reactants are converted into products. There were 2 parts of experiment that had been
conducted which were effect of concentration on reaction rate and effect of temperature and
catalyst on reaction rate. The chemical that had been used for chemical reaction at the part A was
dosium thiosulphate (Na2S202) solution at different concentration. Next, for the part B there were
5 different temperature that were conducted which were 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 ᵒC. The catalyst
used in this experiment was manganese sulphate (MnSO4). At part B, theere were two different
solution which contain catalyst and does not contain catalyst. In Part A, the experiment on the
effect of concentration on reaction rate, the concentration that been used were 0.15M, 0.12M,
0.09M, 0.06M and 0.03M. From the experiment, the time taken for the ‘X’ mark under the beaker
to no longer visible for 0.15M of solution was 24.01s while 0.03M of solution took 174.62s for
the ‘X’ mark under the beaker to no longer visible. Based on the result In Part B, the effect of
temperature and catalyst on reaction rate, it shows that the reaction rate for solution does not
contain catalyst was 0.009s-1 and the solution contain catalyst was 0.019s-1 at temperature of 30
ᵒC while at 70 ᵒC. the reaction rate for solution does not contain catalyst was 0.199s-1 and the
solution contain catalyst was 0.385s-1. This shows that the higher the temperature, the faster the
reaction rate and the present of catalyst also increase the reaction rate.
Conclusion

The aim of this experiment was to determine the effects of concentration, temperature and
catalyst on reaction rate. Based on the result obtain

When temperature is increased the particles move faster and with more kinetic energy,
resulting in reaching activation energy level quicker. Because of this the collisions happen more often
and with more force so the reaction is faster. The diagram below illustrates the effect of temperature
change. The collision theory is when the temperature is increased the atoms conduct the heat and
vibrate; this causes the atoms to gain kinetic energy to move, this be because heat energy is transferred
to kinetic energy for the atoms. Because there is more kinetic energy the atoms move faster with more
energy. The extra energy enables the atoms to move and collide with other atoms and particles;
because of this the collisions happen more often and with more force so the reaction is faster.
