A Kinetics Experiment The Rate of a Chemical Reaction: A Clock Reaction Andrea Deoudes February 2, 2010 Introduction: The rates of chemical reactions and the ability to control those rates are crucial aspects of life. Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates at which chemical reactions occur, the factors that affect the speed of reactions, and the mechanisms by which reactions proceed. The reaction rate depends on the reactants, the concentrations of the reactants, the temperature at which the

Caesium is a type of metal that can be radioactive or nonradioactive, in other words it can be stable or unstable. Caesium 137 is an isotope of Caesium, it is radioactive, or unstable. It is a very familiar and common radioactive isotope, for example it is more environmentally compelling or important than another isotope of Caesium like Caesium 134. Caesium 137 along with several other radioactive isotopes were discovered in the 1930’s by Glenn T. Seaborg. Although Caesium was first discovered as

Benzene Benzene is a material used at the start and is used as a building for many other aromatic materials. These chemicals include ethyl benzene, phenol and styrene. Smaller amounts of benzene can be used to make a wide range of materials. However benzene is a known carcinogen (chemical that causes cancer) .so continual exposure of this carcinogen benzene vapour can result in leukaemia. Benzene has a rather dull appearance as it appears as a colourless liquid although it does have a sweet odour

Metal is a chemical element displaying certain properties by which it has the ability to conduct heat and electricity. The metals comprise about two thirds of the known elements. Some metals, including copper, tin, iron, lead, gold, silver, and mercury, have been around for many years, so long, that they were known to people in ancient times. Copper is probably the oldest known metal, known to humans. Metals differ so widely in hardness, tensile strength, density, and melting point that a definite
