Observing a Colour Change

Science: KS3, topic 2.7.2

Colour Change

We can see how changing the concentration affects rate of reaction by observing colour changes.

Test yourself on Observing a Colour Change

  • When measuring rate of reaction by colour change, when should we stop the timer?

  • When measuring the rate of reaction by a colour change, what are the dependent and independent variables?

  • To measure the rate of reaction by observing a colour change, what graph do we need to plot?

  • In an experiment, the cross disappears in 40 seconds with a low concentration of acid, and in 15 seconds with a higher concentration. Which concentration gives the faster rate of reaction?

  • Why do we check that the cross can be seen under the reaction vessel before adding the acid?
