Q

What is the collision theory?

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

Q

What is indicator?

Study These Flashcards
A

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

25
What's a base?
A substance with a pH greater than 7- and alkali is a base that dissolves in water
26
What type of ions do alkalis form?
OH-
27
What type of ions do acids form?
H+
28
What's the word equation for neutralisiation?
acid + base = salt + water
29
What's the word equation for acids reacting with metals?
Acid + metal = salt + hydrogen
30
The more reactive the metal, the faster the reaction, true or false?
True
31
When metals react with acids, what's the speed of reaction indicated by?
The rate at which bubbles are given off
32
How is hydrogen confirmed in a reaction?
The burning splint test- squeaky pop
33
Which salts will hydrochloric acid produce?
Chloride salts
34
Which salts will sulfuric acid produce?
Sulfate salts
35
What are metal oxides and metal hydroxides?
Bases
36
All metal oxides and hydroxides react with acids to form...
salt and water
37
What does hydrochloric acid + copper oxide make?
Copper chloride and water
38
What does sulfuric acid + zinc sulfate make?
Zinc sulfate and water
39
What does nitric acid + magnesium oxide make?
Maagnesium nitrate and water
40
What neutralises ammonia to make fertiliser?
HNO3
41
Briefly describe the steps to make soluble salts using a metal or insoluble base:
- 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
Briefly describe the steps to make soluble salts using an alkali:
- 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
Briefly describe the steps of making insoluble salts using a precipitation reaction:
- 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
What does electrolysis mean?
Splitting up with electrons
45
Briefly describe the process of electrolysis:
- 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
Electrolysis always involves oxidation and reduction- what are these?
Oxidation: Loss of electrons (gain of oxygen) OIL Reduction: The gain of electrons RIG
47
What do half-equations show?
The reactions at the electrodes
48
How is aluminium extracted from its ore?
Using electrolysis
49
What's the process of removing aluminium from its ore?
- 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
What is electroplating?
When electrolysis is used to coat the surface of one metal with another metal
51
In electroplating what is the negative electrode and what is the positive electrode?
Negative: Object you want to plate Positive: The pure metal you want it to be plated with
52
What are the uses for electroplating?
Decoration and conduction
