The Mad Hatter Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hello!Well we got the assignment of making a design lab on the theme provided by our teacher "Investigate a factor that affects the rate of a chemical reaction, but it cannot be concentration, surface area or temperature" ....I'm stuck, no ideas what so ever, adding to that I am not a superb chemist so my options are limited. Could really need some inspiration and ideas to get going on this one. Oh and this is also my first design lab EVER!!! Thus I don't really know how to tackle the problem so to say.Help is most appreciated, in all forms! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Glau Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Use a catalyst? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Pressure and catalyst, actually. Investigating catalyst would be easier, though. You can try to react X and Y without catalyst, using n amount of catalyst and using 2n amount of catalyst then compare the results. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Glau Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Pressure only works for gases, just adding that Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Hatter Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 God I LOVE this website. Thank you so much for the replies! Feel so stupid that I did not think of a catalyst myself I think that will be the easiest to perform also. Can be a bit difficult to do something with pressure! Well thanks again!

Clt Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 this is what i got from my teacher : "You have 1 mL of an unidentified ester. design a lab by next class" and the catalyst idea is a good oneHello!Well we got the assignment of making a design lab on the theme provided by our teacher "Investigate a factor that affects the rate of a chemical reaction, but it cannot be concentration, surface area or temperature" ....I'm stuck, no ideas what so ever, adding to that I am not a superb chemist so my options are limited.
