Reminder: make sure a redox equation has no spectator ions
a redox equation has no spectator ions
how to prepare stock solution
rinsings of the container the stock solution is made in is added to the standard solution. it is dissolved in a beaker then transferred
two ways to ensure an accurate endpoint
- repeat for concordency
- use a white tile so you can see the colour change easier
for a reaction at equilibrium, after two more hours of that reaction continuing is the rate of the forward and backward reaction increased/decreased/unchanged for each way
unchanged for both
what does a pipette do
accurately measures an exact volume of a liquid
what does a burette do
accurately measures out variable volumes of liquid
what is a standard solution
a solution of accurately known concentration
two reasons why some solids are unsuitable for making a standard solution
not pure//not completely dry//insoluble
How to prepare a standard solution (5 steps)
1) using a beaker accurately measure out the mass of substance required
2) stirring, add distilled water to dissolve the substance completely
3) pour solution into a flask, using a wash bottle to rinse out any remaining substance from the beaker and stirring rod
4) add distilled water to just below the line on the flask
5) using a dropping pipette add more water until the bottom of the meniscus is on the mark on the flask
how do you make a standard solution of very low concentration (easiest way)
dilute a solution of higher concentration
a solution is more accurately measured using a pipette/burette
burette
Reminder: gas syringe almost always works for collection of gases both more and less dense than air

At equilibrium catalysts _____ the activation energy of the forward and/or backward reactions
At equilibrium catalysts decrease the activation energy of the forward reaction
At equilibrium are the energies of the forward and backward reactions equal?
At equilibrium are the energies of the forward and backward reactions are NOT EQUAL
What effect do catalysts have on the backward reaction at equilibrium
Catalysts do not have an effect on the backward reaction at equilibrium
