Write a conclusion that summarizes the results and findings of your experiment.
Briefly restate the purpose of the experiment (include which factor you chose to measure) "The purpose of this experiment was to determine how _____ affects the rate of a reaction."
Explain what your data is showing about the phenomena you were investigating "The data shows that changing _____ caused the reaction to _______" "Looking at the data table, one can see that changing from (data point) to (data point) cause the reaction rate to _______."
Does your data match your hypothesis? (it is okay if it does not) "My hypothesis (does or does not) match my data."
Explain how this lab relates to what you have been learning about in this unit. "This lab relates to what I have been learning because...." "This lab represents..."
In conclusion, the purpose of this experiment was to determine how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of a reaction. The data collected clearly shows that increasing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide led to a higher rate of reaction. For example, changing from a 2% to a 4% concentration caused the reaction rate to double.
My hypothesis stated that increasing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide would result in a higher rate of reaction, and the data supports this prediction. This lab has strengthened my understanding of reaction rates and the impact of different factors on chemical reactions. It demonstrates the direct relationship between concentration and reaction rate, which aligns with the concepts covered in our unit on chemical kinetics. Overall, this experiment has provided valuable insights into the factors influencing reaction rates and their implications in chemistry.
