Reaction Rate

Question 18 • FL-2003350-Chemistry 1 Honors

Suppose that a student did not stop the timer as soon as bubbling stopped during a test at 40°C. Check all possible resulting errors.

Answer
A
Measurements at all temperatures will have errors.
B
The reaction time will be too long.
C
The reaction time will be too short.
D
The reaction time will resemble the reaction time for a higher temperature.
E
The reaction time will resemble the reaction time for a lower temperature.

Explanation

If the student lets the timer run after bubbling has stopped, the recorded reaction time will be longer than the actual time, so the reaction time is too long. A longer reaction time is more like the result expected at a lower temperature, where the reaction proceeds more slowly.
