Considerations. Each chocolate-covered espresso bean contains 5 milligrams of caffeine, a stimulant that elevates your heart rate and blood pressure. Overconsumption of caffeine can lead to nausea, vomiting, tremors, restlessness and difficulty sleeping.
A pH of about 7 is the optimum and as the pH moves further away from the optimum pH the enzyme activity starts to slow down. Every enzyme shows highest activity at a specific temperature which is called the optimum temperature. The rate of reaction above or below this temperature is slower. Increasing the temperature causes the frequency of collisions to increase as the molecules move faster when the heat is supplied.
If the solid is divided into smaller pieces, then there is greater surface area; therefore, more particles are able to react, and the reaction rate increases. Effect of temperature on reaction rate: An increase in the temperature of reactants usually results in an increase in the reaction rate.n this experiment, you will study various conditions and the effect they have on the collision of molecules. You will observe the effects of temperature, concentration, particle size (surface area), and catalysts on the rates of chemical reactions and then explain these effects in terms of the collision theory.
