RATE REACTION

A. Objectives
Study the effect of surface area of solid reactant, concentration, temperature, and catalyst toward the rate reaction.

B. Theory
Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the study of rates of chemical processes. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how different experimental conditions can influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about the reaction's mechanism and transition states, as well as the construction of mathematical models that can describe the characteristics of a chemical reaction. In 1864, Peter Waage and Cato Guldberg pioneered the development of chemical kinetics by formulating thelaw of mass action, which states that the speed of a chemical reaction is proportional to the quantity of the reacting substances. Chemical kinetics deals with the experimental determination of reaction rates from which rate laws and rate constants are derived. Relatively simple rate laws exist for zeroorder reactions (for which reaction rates are independent of concentration), first-order reactions, and second-order reactions, and can be derived for others. In consecutive reactions, the rate-determining step often determines the kinetics. In consecutive firstorder reactions, a steady state approximation can simplify the rate law. The activation energy for a reaction is experimentally determined through the Arrhenius equation and the eyring equation. The main factors that influence the reaction rate include: the physical state of the reactants, the concentrations of the reactants, the temperature at which the reaction occurs, and whether or not any catalysts are present in the reaction. The rate of a chemical reaction is the relationship in the change of the amount of a reactant or product with respect to time. For the general reaction, 2 A + B C + D, one way to describe the rate of the reaction would be the change (increase) in the concentration of D with respect to time. Another way to express it would be the rate of change (decrease) of A with respect to time. These two expressions of the rate can be related through a negative sign and a fraction of based on A disappearing twice as fast as D.

We know from everyday experience that the change include that the change included the chemical change take place with different speed. The time required to achieve a change is influence by varios factor, than the same changes can take place with the different speed condition. In this experiment it will be investigated how reaction rate is influence by surface area, concentration of solution, temperature and catalyst.

According to the theory of collision, the reactants will react if they collide intensively. Concentration affect the number of collision occured. The greater the concentration of reactants, more frequent collisions between them, so that the greater possibility of product formation. Similarly, if the reactant is solid, the surface area will accelerate the reaction. The reaction can run by the effective collision, so not all collisions result a reaction. Effective collisions requires precise posotioning and considerable energy. Carbon and oxygen though already in contact, will not form carbon dioxyde without the heat. The minimum enegy required for reacting is called activation energy (Ea). Reaction with high Ea is difficult or run slow. Ea can be lowered using catalyst. The rate reaction will increase sharply if the temperature is raised. An increase in temperature mainly caused the increase of Ea of molecules bounded, and it is important for incesing the number of collision

F. Discussion
1. The surface area of reactant In this experiment, we react marble and chloride acid. Aim of this experiment is to show how the affect of surface area of reactant toward the rate reaction. The marble which used in this experiment in two shape, there are pieces and powder. Both of them have same weight. The result shows that time until raction finished with marble in pieces shape is 1336,81 seconds and reaction with marble in powder is 30,37 seconds. This experiment saw that the surface area of reactant with different shape affect the rate reaction.with the same weight, the time until reaction finished are different. Marble in powder shape is react faster than in pieces shape. It is because the surface area in powder is wider than the surface area pieces shape.when there is compound in solid phase, than it shared into little shape. That is true that the shape is more little but there is addition of surface area in that compound. If the suface area is wider, the rate reaction is faster because the collision between reactant molecules are greater and it makes efective collision. 2. Concentration of reactant To looking for the affect of concentration of reactant in rate reaction, we did two variated reactions between sodium thiosulphate and chloride acid. First, concentration of HCl is variated. In the other hand, concentration of sodium thiosulphate is constant. Second, concentration of sodium thiosulphate is variated. In the other hand, concentration of HCl is constant.

The first experiment saw that if the concentration of HCl is higher, the rate reaction is faster. In the second experiment saw if the concentration of Na 2S2O3 is higher, the rate reaction is faster too. Both of experiment saw that concentration is greater, the rate reaction is faster. It is because so greater the concentration of substances, so the capability to do collision will occured higher than the substances with liquid concentration. The amout of collision occured wil caused efective collisionis higher too. The efective collision with higher intention will makes the greater rate reaction. 3. Temperature of reaction This experiment to prove the affect of temperatureof reaction in reaction. The time until reaction finish between H2C2O4 0,05M and KMnO4 0,01 M in acid condition (there is H2SO4) and room temperature is 105 seconds. After the solution is heated, the time until reaction finish is 6 seconds. Both of the experiment saw that the time which needed to react will faster after the solution is heated. It is because the kinetic energy of molecules wil greater when the temperature of reactant is higher. So the collision between molecules will occured is more often. It will occured more efective and the rate reaction will faster. 4. Catalyst A catalyst is a substance that accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction at a certain temperature, without any changes or unused by the reaction itself. In this experiment, a catalytic role in the reaction but not as a reactant or a product. The catalyst allows the reaction to go faster or enable the reaction at lower temperatures due to the changes that triggered the reagent. Catalysts provide a choice of pathways with lower activation energy. The catalyst reduces the energy required for the course of the reaction. Catalysts are sometimes involved in the reaction but did not undergo a permanent chemical change, in other words at the end of the reaction the catalyst will be found again in the same form and amount as before the reaction. By decreasing the activation energy at the same temperature the reaction can take place more quickly. 5. Autocatalyst The occured reaction is 3H2SO4 + 2KMnO4 + 5H2C2O4 K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 10CO2 + 8H2O. Autocatalyst is a catalyst That it is product of reaction can be as catalyst. In this reaction, the autocatalyst is MnSO4. More MnSO4 that producted, the rate reaction is faster. But our data this experiment are different from the theory. It caused by some mistake like : Practican is not carefully in count the time Practican is not carefully when watch the color change in solution from pink become transparent This experiment saw that with additional an autocatalyst can make fast the rate reaction because autocatalyst can decreasing the activation energy (Ea).

G. Conclusion
1. The rate reaction is inflence by some factor, there are surface area of solid reactant, concentration, temperature, catalyst, etc. 2. More wider the surface area of solid, the rate reaction will be faster.

3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

More greaer the concentration, the rate reaction will be faster. More higher the temperature, the rate reaction will be faster. Catalyst can make fast the rate reaction by decreasing the actaivation energy. Autocatalyst is a matter from the result of reaction and it can be catalyst to. Autocatalyst can make fast the ate reaction and combine with other catalyst.

H. Suggestion
1. Practican should know the procedures before do the experiment and do the experiment carefully. 2. In the experiment to prove affect of surface area toward rate reaction, mass of pieces and powder marble should be weighed not the estimation. 3. In the experiment autocatalyst should not too much so that not spend the time. 4. All of member in group must working together so that the experiment will done well.

S, the first tube is slower when compared with the second tube. b. In the additional of MnSO4 in the second tube, it makes the rate reaction in the second tube become faster than the firs tube because MnSO4 is autocatalyst. It is a matter which its product reaction used as catalyst. Beside that, MnSO4 in the second tube is higher than the fisrt tube.
