Proposal for IA chemistry.

Topic: Chemistry Kinetics

Research question: How does temperature affect the rate of a chemistry
reaction?
Brief background information:
-There are several factors which will influence the rate of a chemical reaction.
- When the temperature increases, the rate if reaction also increases.
- Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction.
- Method: Performed 3 experiments, at 3 different temperature conditions
+room temperature: 10cm3 Iodine solution and Starch solution in 2 separate
test tubes, make sure stopwatch at 0. Pour 2 test tubes into a beaker. And wait
it change color and press stop of the stopwatch, calculate the rate of reaction
+warm temperature: Do as same, but warm-up 10cm3 Iodine solution and
Starch solution to 40°C
+cold temperature: It also does the same, but 10cm3 Iodine solution and a
Starch solution put in ice to decreasing 0°C
What kind of data are going to collect: qualitative
-Independ variable: Temperature
-Depend variable: rate of rection
-Control variable: Volume and concentration of “iodine solution”, volume and
concentration of “starch solution”, size of cubed beaker.
Material:
-starch solution: (2g starch + 500cm3 boiling water) PASTE +500cm3 water
-Iodine solution: 2g KClO3 + 1000cm3 H2O
-thermometer
-Ice in a beaker
-stopwatch
-Benson banner to heat up the water
-6 test tubes
- empty beaker
