Q

What 3 things increase collisions and why?

A
  1. Higher temperature- more kinetic energy so particles move quicker
  2. Higher concentration/pressure- more particles of reactant knocking water particles/pressure means particles are squashed together
  3. Larger surface area- particles around it in solution will have more area to work on

Q

How does a solid catalyst work?

A

It gives the reacting particles something to stick to, increasing the number of successful collisions

Q

How do catalysts reduce costs in industrial reactions?

A

They increase the rate of reaction- this saves money because plants and machines don’t need to operate for as long. The reaction can operate at a lower temperature which reduces energy needed- saves money/sustainable

Q

What are the disadvantages of using catalysts in the industry?

A
  • Expensive to buy
  • Need to be removed from product and cleaned
  • Different reactions need different catalysts
  • Can sometimes be poisoned by impurities so they stop working

24
Q

What is indicator?

A

A dye that changes colour depending on whether it’s above or below a certain pH

25
Q

What’s a base?

A

A substance with a pH greater than 7- and alkali is a base that dissolves in water

26
Q

What type of ions do alkalis form?

A

OH-

27
Q

What type of ions do acids form?

A

H+

28
Q

What’s the word equation for neutralisiation?

A

acid + base = salt + water

29
Q

What’s the word equation for acids reacting with metals?

A

Acid + metal = salt + hydrogen

30
Q

The more reactive the metal, the faster the reaction, true or false?

A

True

31
Q

When metals react with acids, what’s the speed of reaction indicated by?

A

The rate at which bubbles are given off

32

40
Q

What neutralises ammonia to make fertiliser?

A

HNO3

41
Q

Briefly describe the steps to make soluble salts using a metal or insoluble base:

A
  • Pick the right acid plus a metal of insoluble base
  • Add to the acid and wait for the solid to dissolve as it reacts
  • Filter out the excess metal to get the salt solution
  • Evaporate some of the water and leave the rest to exaporate slowly- crystalisation
42
Q

Briefly describe the steps to make soluble salts using an alkali:

A
  • Add exactly the right amount of alkali to neutralise the acid (using indicator first, then without)
  • Then evaporate off the water to crystalise the salt
43
Q

Briefly describe the steps of making insoluble salts using a precipitation reaction:

A
  • You need 2 solutions with the ions you need
  • Once the salt has precipitated out, filter it from the solution
  • Wash&dry it on filter paper
44
Q

What does electrolysis mean?

A

Splitting up with electrons

45
Q

Briefly describe the process of electrolysis:

A
  • An electric current through an ionic substance that’s molten or in solution, it breaks down into the element it’s made from
  • Requires a liquid to conduct the electricity- electrolyte
  • Electrolytes contain free ions that conduct electricity
  • Electrons are taken away from ions at the positive electrode and given to other ions at the negative electrode
46
Q

Electrolysis always involves oxidation and reduction- what are these?

A

Oxidation: Loss of electrons (gain of oxygen) OIL
Reduction: The gain of electrons RIG

A

Using electrolysis

49
Q

What’s the process of removing aluminium from its ore?

A
  • Aluminium oxide is dissolved in molten cryolite (metling point brought down to 900 degrees)
  • Aluminium forms at the negative electrode and oxygen forms at the positive one
50
Q

What is electroplating?

A

When electrolysis is used to coat the surface of one metal with another metal

51
Q

In electroplating what is the negative electrode and what is the positive electrode?

A

Negative: Object you want to plate
Positive: The pure metal you want it to be plated with

52
