Respond to the questions andprompts in the orange boxes.Vocabulary: activate: complex, catalyst, chemcareaction, concentration, enzyme, half-life, molecL e,product reactant surface areaPrior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE usirig the Gizmo.)1.Suppose you added a spoonful of sugar to hot water and another to ice-ccld water. Which type cf rater 'willcause the sugar to dissolve more quickly?The hot water vxxild dissolve the sugar faster.2.Suppose you held a lighted match to a solid hunk cf wood and another match to a pile of wood shavings.VWtioh farm of wood wil catch fire mere easily?The wood shavings catch on fire mere easily.Gizmo Warm-upA chemical reaction causes the chemical compositions of substances|to change. Reactants are substances that enter into a reaction, andproducts are substances produced by the reaction. TheGohliscnTheory Gizmc allows you to experiment v<ith several factors tnat affect, Ithe rate at which reactants are transformed hto products in a chemicalreact on.»I*You wil reed Hue. green . and orange markers or colored pencils for thefirst part of this activity.;1.Look at the key at the bottom of the SIMJLAT1ON pane. In the spacebelow. draw f) the two reactants and two products of this chemical reaction.Reactants:Products:Re.* !# I B:.Click Play f » ). What do you see?

View the animation withNc catalyst selected.What do you see?The reactants colide and farm product A and B.W"en two reactantmolecules meet. they farm a temporary structure called anactivatedcomplexTheactivated complex breaks up into the product molecules.2.Ctiserve: Return to the CONTROLS pane. Set 1heTemperature to 0:C and the Simulation speed to itsmaximum setting. QickPlay.ACescrbe the motions of the molecules.Reactants A are moving around and colliding with reactant B. Reacting B is vibrating on theside.E.Now set tne Temperature tc 2Q0:C. How does increasing the temperature affect tne motions of themolecules?Reactants A are moving around and colliding with reactant B. Reacting B is vibrating on theside. Reactants move faster.C. Wiat do you notice atcut the chemical reaction a: the higher temperature?Motion and rate of reaction decreases as temperature is increases3.Imerprat: Select the GRAPH tab. Click the zoom out tuttori (-} until you can see the whole graph. Wiatdoes this graph show?The graph s h o wthe concentration of reactants and products over time.4.Predict How do you think temperature will affect the rate cf a chemical reaction?
