KEY TO PRE-LAB 5 FACTORS AFFECTING REA – CTION RATE
1. What does the rate of a chemical reaction describe? How can the rate of a
chemical reaction be determined? (5 pts)
- The rate of a chemical reaction describes how fast the reaction occurs. (2.5 pts)
- The rate of a reaction can be determined by measuring the time of a certain amount of
a reactant reacted or a product formed. (2.5 pts)
2A. What are the factors that can affect the rate of a chemical reaction? (5 pts) - the nature of the reactants - temperature of the reaction
- concentration of the reactants
- the surface area of the reactants - the presence of a catalyst
- the pressure of the reaction system.
2B. What is a catalyst? Will a catalyst be consumed in a chemical reaction? (5 pts)
- A catalyst is a substance that can speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. (2.5 pts)
- A catalyst will not be consumed in a chemical reaction. (2.5 pts) 1
3A. A test tube was prepared by combining the following reagents: 10 mL (NH4)S2O8
0.1 M, 5 mL Na2S2O3 0.005 M, 4 mL starch, 10 mL KI 0.2 M. Calculate the
concentration of (NH4)S2O8 assuming that the reaction have not occurred. Show
your work for full credit. (5 pts)
Total volume of reagents in the test tube: (1.5 pts)
The number of moles of (NH4)S2O8 in the test tube: (1.5 pts)
The concentration of (NH4)S2O8 in the test tube: (2 pts)
