ABSTRACT
Chemical reactions are defined as the conversion of one or more substances called reactants into
one or more different substances called products. The experiment’s objective is to calculate the initial rate
of reaction based on observations on concentrations of the reactants, temperature, and time it takes for the
reactions to take place. The experiment first observed the effect of concentration to the reaction, thus
varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide with Dl water were used in three trials. The temperature and
volume of iodide solutions and thiosulfate solutions remained constant. With the recorded lab data, the
concentrations of substances and the initial rates of reaction can be calculated. The second trial took the
longest to react, and the third trial had the shortest time. In the second part, the effects of temperature were
observed. Thus, varying temperatures of iodide solutions were used in three trials. The rest remained
constant. Again, computing for the concentrations of reactants and the initial rates of reaction. The first
trial was the slowest to react, while the third trial was the quickest. In conclusion, the rate of a reaction is
greatly affected by factors such as the temperature or the concentration of a reactant.
