SOTM LAB: C7 I: TEACHER NOTES & GUIDELINES TITLE OF LAB: Chemical Kinetics: Concentration vs. Reaction Rate DEVELOPERS OF LAB: Michael Boms (JD814), Phillip Cameron (JD522), Gail Gold (JD889), Mark Tretter (JD580); Kathy Poncelet (JD521), Mikki Bieber (JD705), Pamela Iacovella (JD723), SOTM staff OVERVIEW OF LAB DESCRIPTION A spectrophotometer will be used to study different aspects of the kinetics of a reaction. The effect of concentration of one of the reactants will be investigated initially to explore the reaction and to introduce students to the use of the Spectronic-20 spectrophotometer. After completing the initial experiment, students will propose and design an experiment to investigate another factor which they think may affect the rate of this reaction.
