C10 Flashcards
Rate of The reaction?
How quickly reactants r used up or products r produced
What is the equation for calculating the mean rate of reaction?
Mean rate = change in quantity of product or reaction ➗ time taken
What is the unit for rate of reaction in a reaction involving a change in mass?
g/s
What is the unit for rate of reaction involving a change in volume?
cm cubed/ s
Activation energy 🔋?
The minimum amount of energy colliding particles need to have before a reaction will take place
What effect does increasing concentration have on the rate of reaction?
Increases
Y does increasing concentration have this effect of the rate of reaction Increasing ?
More reactant particles in the same volume lead to frequent collisions
What effect does increasing pressure have on the rate of reaction?
Increases
Y does increasing pressure increase the rate of reaction?
Less space between particles means more frequent collisions 💥
Y does increasing surface area increase the rate of reaction ?
More reactant particles r exposed and able to collide, leading to more frequent collisions
Y does increasing temperature 🤒 increase the rate of reaction?
Particles move faster 💨
Leading to more frequent collisions
Particle have the same activation energy
So more collisions will result in a reaction
What is a catalyst?
A substance that increases the rate of a reaction but isn’t used up in the reaction.
How do catalyst increase the rate of reaction?
Lower the activation energy of the reaction so more collisions result in a reaction
