Experiment to observe the effect of surface area and catalysts on the rate of chemical reactions. Hypothesized that an increase in surface area will increase the reaction rate. Predicted that using a catalyst will increase reaction rate and speed up the reaction.

Purpose To observe the effect of surface area and catalysts on the rate of chemical reactions. Hypothesis I predict that an increase in surface area will increase the reaction rate. I predict that using a catalyst will increase the reaction rate and speed up the reaction. Apparatus and Materials Marble chips (calcium carbonate) Mortar and pestle 6.0 M hydrochloric acid (2) 10 mL graduated cylinders 5 test tubes 2 test tube clamps Test tube rack Mossy zinc 1.0 M hydrochloric acid Copper turnings 1.0 M copper (II) sulfate spatula
Observations Data Tables: Table 1: The effect of surface area on the reaction rate of marble Substance Observations Powdered marble
Powdered Marbles reaction rate was faster than the whole marble chip and as a result produced gas faster (bubbling occurs faster) Whole Marble chip
Whole Marble chip reaction rate was slower because only the exterior of the chip was in contact with the solute resulting in slower gas produced (bubbling occurs slower)
Table 2: The effect of a catalyst on the zinc reaction Substances Observations Zinc + acid
Produced gas at a steady rate as the acid dissolves the Zinc (bubbling occurs) Zinc + acid + copper
With the Copper strand in contact with the zinc, there is a slight noticeable increase in its reaction rate (bubbling occurs faster) Zinc + acid + copper (II) sulfate
With the Copper (II) sulfate in contact with the zinc and acid, it resulted with the stop of gas produced and altered the colour of zincs exterior (change in colour, no bubbling)
Analysis 1. Write a balanced equation for the reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid. 2. Describe the effect of particle size on the rate of a reaction. 3. Define catalyst. 4. Which of the substances (copper turnings or copper (II) sulfate) acted as a better catalyst? Explain your reasoning. 5. Did your hypothesis agree with your results? Explain. 6. List two other factors (not from this lab) that affect reaction rate.
1a. Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl 2 + H 2
2a. As particle size decreases, surface area increases because it is able to make more contact with the reactants. A higher surface area results in a faster reaction rate.
3a. A catalyst is a substance that increases the reaction rate of a chemical reaction without changing itself.
4a. The copper turnings acted as a better catalyst because the copper (II) sulfate was presumably an inhibitor halting the reaction between zinc and acid and creating a different chemical reaction, while on the other hand copper turnings accelerated the intended chemical reaction rate.
5a. My hypothesis of both surface area and catalysts increasing the reaction rate of chemical reactions agree with my results. The copper turnings worked as a catalyst and increased the reaction rate; however the copper (II) sulfate did not act as a proper catalyst. The powdered marble chip when compared to the whole marble chip reacted much faster, showing that surface area increases reaction rate.
6a. Two other factors that were not present in this lab that also affect reaction rate could be: Temperature Pressure (gas)
