A Day in the Physics Lab 🥼🧪

Last Thursday, March 14 we had this experiment in chemistry where we were tasked to Examine and observe how the Factors Affect the Reaction Rate of the reactants. Wanna know what am I talking about? Well, let's see and find out! Enjoy reading and try to learn new things and experiment!

In chemistry, we have these Factors that affect the reaction rate of the reactants. The Concentration, Temperature, Surface Area, Nature of reactants, and the Catalyst. But before I start do you know what are these things? Hmm well I guess some of you know this but some aren't familiar with that

Now let's start!

During our chemistry time, we are told by our teacher, Mrs. Ivy, that we will go to the physics Lab and do the activity. Each group where a task to do the experiment and answer the guided questions that she assigned to us. Our group was assigned to do the

CONCENTRATION

Here is the photo where we are experimenting.

HMM? WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM OUR EXPERIMENT?🥼🧪

In the factors that affect the reaction rate of the substance, the concentration of the reactants is very essential, from what I have learned and observed when the concentration of the reactants is higher the frequency of collision increases and will result in a faster reaction.

After doing our experiment, Maam Ivy then told us to go to the other group to observe and ask them some questions about their experiments. The first thing I did was get my ball pen and paper so that I could write the data I gathered from each group.

At this part It was the time when the room was around and gathered from the other group

After I got my materials, I quickly went to Group 1 where they performed the
NATURE OF REACTANTS

Here is the photo of their experiment

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM THEIR GROUP?🥼

Well, like the Reactants, it is a reaction that happens when the reactants are liquid to liquid while when the reactants are solid-liquid there is no possible reaction in the substance.

I then proceeded to Group 2 where they experimented with the Temperature of the reactants.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM THEIR GROUP?🥼

In this group, I learned from then that when the temperature is higher, the faster average speed of a group of molecules will result in more frequent collision which means that the reaction is higher.

Sadly I didn't take a picture of their experiment

After which, we then proceeded to the next group the SURFACE AREA.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS?

In this area right here, I learned that when the reaction between two gases will react more quickly as compared to liquids and solids. In general, the reaction rate can be determined by the rate of disappearance and the appearance of products.

Then last but not least is the CATALYSTS.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM THEIR GROUP EXPERIMENT?🥼🧪

Well, In the last group, I learned that a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the reaction without being permanently changed. Do you know that enzymes are one of the catalysts? Like for example your saliva helps you to be able to break down your food easily and speeds up the reaction of the substance. Isn't it interesting?

Sadly I didn't take a picture of their group experiment.

The last Activity for the day is answering the provided questions for each group, In this photo my classmate was writing our answers in the Manila Paper.

All in all, the activity was full of enthusiastic and knowledgeable experiments, I learned new things and observed new experiments. It may not be the best day but it was a great and fun day indeed!

That's all for today Hivers Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy and learn this blog stay tuned for my other blog, God bless everyone!
