6-The Rate and Extent of Chemical Change (2) Flashcards
What is a rate of chemical reaction?
How fast reactants are changed into products
How can you find the speed of rate of reaction?
Measuring quantity of reactants used up or produts formed over time
What is the calculation for mean rate of reaction?
mean ror = quantity of reactants used/time take
or
mean ror = quantity of products formed/time taken
What does a steeper line on a reaction time graph indicate?
Faster rate of reaction
What is the collision theory of reacting particles?
How often they collide
What is the quantity of reactant or product measured in?
mass in grams
volume in cm^3
What is required for successful collision?
Enough energy
What is activation energy?
The minimum amount of energy particles need to collide
Why is energy needed in reactions?
To break the bonds in the reactants and start the reaction
What is equilibrium in a reversible reaction?
The forward and backward reaction going at the same rate
Under what condition can equilibrium only be reached?
Within a closed system
What is true when equilibrium lies to the right?
The concentration of products is greater than reactants
What is true when equilibrium lies to the left?
The concentration of reactants is greater than products
What does the position of equilibrium depend on?
*Temperature
*Pressure
*Concentration
What is true about endo and exo reversible reactions?
If reaction is endothermic in one direction it is exothermic in the other direction
