C-6 The rate and extent of chemical change Flashcards
- What is the the rate of reaction
- How fast the reactants are changed in products
- what are the equations used to calculate rate of reaction
mean rate of reaction =
quantity of reaction used//time taken
Sanity ion product formed// time taken
What must happen in order for a reaction to take place
- Must collide with enough energy
-
What is collision theory
- The more collisions there are the faster the rate of reaction
- the energy transferred during a collision. Particles have to collide with enough energy for the collision to be successful
- Activation energy- the amount of energy needed to break to bonds
What increases the rate of reaction on a theory basis
- More collisions increase the rate of reactions
How does temperature effect the rate of reaction
- When temperature increase the kinetic energy store increases and they move faster
- As they are moving faster they will collide more frequently
- The faster they move the more energy they gave so more collisions will have enough energy to make the reaction happen
What effect does concentration and pressure have on a reaction
- IF a solution is more concentrated it means there are more particles knocking about in the same volume of water
- Similarly when pressure increases it means same number of particles occupy smaller space
- makes collisions more frequent- therefore rate of reaction increases.
What effect does surface area have on rate of reaction
- IF reactants is solid then breaking it up will increase surface area to volume ratio
- This means that for the same volume of solid particles will have more area to work on- so reactions will be more frequent
- What is a catalyst
- Substance that speeds up a reaction without being used up itself within the reaction - not part of overall equation
- Different catalysts are needed for different reactions- but they all decrease activation energy- provide an alternate pathway- lower energy needed
- How do catalysts effect the rate of reaction
- Different catalysts are needed for different reactions- but they all decrease activation energy- provide an alternate pathway- lower energy needed
- What are enzymes
- Biological catalysts - speed up rate of reaction in living things
- What are the steps in measuring change in rate of reaction
- Colour change and precipitation
- Change in mass- gas
- Volume of gas given off
How do you investigate rat elf rate of reaction in precipitation and colour
- Visual change
- Observe a mark through solution and see how ;omg to tales to disappear- faster it takes faster rate
- If reactants are coloured and products colourless you can see how long it takes to gain or loose colour
- Subjective results
- Cant plot
How do you investigate rate of reaction using change in mass
- measuring speed that produces a gas
- As gas is related the mass leaving is measured in change in mass balance
- IF take measurements at regular intervals a graph can be plotted
- Most accurate- gas goes into room
- How do you investigate rate of reaction using gas syringe
- Gas given off
- More gas given off means faster rate
- nearest cm 3
- Graph
- Can low plunger out
What is the two rates experiments method
- Add set volume of HCL to conical flask
- Add magnesium while on a mass balance
- Record mass change at set intervals
- Test with other concentrations
- Plot on same graph and compare
- What is is the black cross test
- Both clear- go yellow
- Add set amount of sodium
- Place piece of paper in
- Test time to no longer see black cross for different concentrations
- No graph
- How can you calculate mean rate of reaction
- Overall change//overall time
- How do you find rate of reaction at a particular point
- Draw a tangent and find relative gradient
- What are reversible reaction
- In some chemical reactions the products can react to produce original reactants
- How can reversal reactions be represented
- A + B <=> C + D
- How can the direction of reversible reactions be change
- By changing the conditions
e. g Ammonium chloride <====> Ammonium+ hydrogen
to move left to right - heat
to remove left to right- cool
- What are the energy changes in a reversible reaction
- A reversible reaction is endothermic in one direction and exothermic in another. Same amount of energy transferred
- What is an example of exothermic and endothermic reversible reactions
- Hydrated copper sulfate <=====> Anhydrous copper sulfate+ water
Left to right- endothermic
Right to left- exothermic
What is an equilibrium
- When a reversible reaction occurs in apparatus that prevents the escape of reactants and products
When is equilibrium reached
Equilibrium is reached when the forward and reverse reactions occur at exactly the same rate
What do the relative amounts of reactants and products depend on in an equilibrium
- The conditions
What happens if there is a change to a system that is in equilibrium
- The system responds to correct it
- La chandelier’s principle
How does a system respond to temperature change
- All reactions are endothermic one way and exothermic another
- IF you decrease the temperature- equilibrium will move towards the exothermic in order increase the temperature- more products for endothermic- less for exothermic
- IF you Increase the temperature the equilibrium will move towards endothermic in order to decrease the temperature. More products for Endothermic. Less for Exothermic
How does a system respond to a pressure change
- Only relevant for gases
- IF pressure is increased to try and reduce it it moves towards state where less molecules are present
- If pressure is decreased it will move towards state where more molecules re present
- How does a system respond to concentration increase
- If you increase concentration it will no longer be at equilibrium
- System attempt to bring it back
- IF increase in concentration of reactions- shift towards products
- If increase in products- shift toward reactants
