2. Concentration time graph Flashcards
1
Q
definition
half-life t 1/2
A
(of a reactant) is the time taken for concentration of the reactant to reduce by half
2
Q
calculating k (first order reaction) units
A
k = ln 2 (calculator) / t1/2
s-1
3
Q
how to find rate from concentration time graph
A
tangent
change in conc / time
4
Q
reactions involving acid/ base measure
A
ph change by carrying out titration
ph change by using ph metre
5
Q
reactions involving producing gas measure
A
change in volume or pressure
loss in mass of reactants
6
Q
reactions that produce visual change observe
A
formation of precipitate colour change (monitor using colorimeter. intensity of colour directly related to conc)
