Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

What 2 ways can the gas produced measure the rate of a reaction?

A

Measure the change in mass - take readings off the balance at regular intervals. Measure the volume of gas - use a gas syringe to measure the volume of gas produced at regular intervals.

Q

Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

What 4 factors can lead to an increased rate of reaction?

A

Increasing the temperature, increasing the concentration or pressure, larger surface area (by crushing/cutting into smaller pieces) and addding a catalyst

33
Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

What happens to mass in a reaction?

A

It is always conserved. No atoms are destroyed or created.

34
Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

What does a low atom economy mean?

A

They use up resources very quickly and make lots of waste materials - usually these processes aren’t profitable.

35
Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

What does a high atom economy mean?

A

The products are used and produce lots of products, very little is wasted.

36
Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

Why do industrial processes want as high a % yield as possible?

A

To reduce waste and reduce costs/make more profit.

37
Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

Why is the % yield never 100%?

A

Because some product always gets lost through things like: evaporation, not all reactants reacting to make a product, filtration and transferring liquids (left on inside of container)

38
Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

Why do pharmaceutical drugs cost a lot?

A

Research and development (finding a suitable compound, testing it and modifying it), trialling (all need to be tested before use) and manufacture (batch process is labour intensive and can’t be automated)

39
Q

C3 - Chemical Economics

What are the steps in chromatography?

A

Crush, boil to dissolve in a suitable solvent, separate by chromatography (spots of different chemicals move up the paper at different speeds), extract the chemical you want.
