Chemistry Investigation Rosie Marteau - Argentum INVESTIGATING FACTORS WHICH AFFECT THE RATE OF REACTION BETWEEN SODIUM HYDROGENCARBONATE AND HYDROCHLORIC ACID Introduction I am investigating the rate of a given chemical reaction, and the effect that various changes have on it. The rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of the loss of the reactants, or alternatively the rate of formation of the products, and is given by the reciprocal of the amount of time taken for the reaction to occur. In this reaction, however, I will be investigating the amount of time taken for a specified quantity of a product to be produced, and will use a tangent of my graph to represent the initial rate of the reaction. The reaction I am investigation is: Sodium + Dilute Sodium Chloride + Hydrogencarbonate Hydrochloric Acid Carbon Dioxide + Water NaHCO3 (s) + HCl (aq) NaCl (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O According to the collision theory, a chemical...
