Product Details

Classic AP Requirement #12b—Determination of the Rate of a Reaction and Its Order

Students study the rate of the reaction of FD&C Red Dye No. 3 with sodium hypochlorite using a spectrophotometer. First, students create a calibration curve for the dye. Then they find the order of reaction for each of the reactants by varying the concentration of each reactant individually. Finally, a graphical analysis of the relationship of concentration versus time is used to calculate the rate constant. Includes optional FD&C Blue Dye No. 1 for better absorbance with some colorimeters.  

Complete for 30 students working in pairs. A spectrophotometer or colorimeter is required.

Performance Expectations

HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
HS-PS1-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
HS-PS1-6. Refine the design of a chemical system by specifying a change in conditions that would produce increased amounts of products at equilibrium.
HS-PS1-7. Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
