Reaction Rates

Experiment #22 from Investigating Chemistry through Inquiry

In the Preliminary Activity, you will use a Gas Pressure Sensor to monitor the pressure increase due to the production of oxygen gas inside an Erlenmeyer flask as potassium iodide catalytically decomposes hydrogen peroxide.

After completing the Preliminary Activity, you will first use reference sources to find out more about reaction rates and factors that influence them before you choose and investigate a researchable question dealing with reaction rates.
