C5 - How Much?
What catalyst is used in the contact process?
Vanadium Pentoxide catalyst (V₂O₅) is used. This does not change the position of equilibrium.
C5 - How Much?
What type of reaction is stage 2 of the contact process?
Exothermic (and reversible)
C5 - How Much?
What happens if the temperature is reduced (in the contact process)?
More product but an extremely slow reaction. A compromise of 450°C is used to get a high yield quickly.
C5 - How Much?
What pressure is used in the contact process?
Atmospheric pressure (1 atm) because increasing it would make it expensive and shifting equilibrium to right is not necessary as it is already at the right.
C5 - How Much?
What happens to equilibrium when the concentration of reactants is increased (in ammonia equation)?
Adding more Nitrogen or hydrogen means the equilibrium tries to decrease it by shifting to the right, making more NH3.
C5 - How Much?
What process is used to make sulphuric acid?
The contact process
C5 - How Much?
What happens to equilibrium when the temperature is increased?
It moves to try and decrease it. Moves in the endothermic direction.
C5 - How Much?
What is the first stage of the contact process?
To make sulfur dioxide (SO₂) sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide S (s) + O₂ (g) → SO₂ (g) Usually by burning sulfur in the air
C5 - How Much?
What happens to the equilibrium when the concentration of product is increased?
By adding more NH3, the equilibrium tries to reduce it again. By shifting to the left making more nitrogen and hydrogen.
C5 - How Much?
What 3 things can change the position of equilibrium?
Temperature, pressure and concentration.
C5 - How Much?
What is the second stage of the contact process?
Sulfur dioxide is oxidised with help of a catalyst to make sulfur trioxide sulfur dioxide + oxygen ⇌ sulfur trioxide 2SO₂ (g) + O₂ (g) ⇌ 2SO₂ (g)
C5 - How Much?
What happens to equilibrium when the pressure is increased?
The equilibrium moves to try and reduce it. It moves in the direction where there are fewer moles of gas.
C5 - How Much?
When does equilibrium only take place?
If the reversible reaction takes place in a closed system meaning none of the reactants or products can escape.
C5 - How Much?
What is the third stage of the contact process?
Sulfur trioxide is used to make sulfuric acid sulfur trioxide + water → sulfuric acid SO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → H₂SO₄ (aq)
C5 - How Much?
What happens to equilibrium when the pressure is decreased?
The equilibrium tries to increase it. It overs in. The direction where there are more moles of gas.
C5 - How Much?
What does it mean if the equilibrium lies to the left?
Lots of the reactants but not much of the products. The concentration of reactants is greater than the concentration of the products.
C5 - How Much?
What happens to equilibrium when adding a catalyst?
It won’t change the position, it speeds up both the forward and backward reactions by the same amount, adding a catalyst means the reaction reaches equilibrium quicker, but you end up with the same amount of products as you would without the catalyst.
C5 - How Much?
What does it mean if the equilibrium lies to the right?
Lots of the products and not much of the reactants. The concentration of product is greater than concentration of the reactant.
C5 - How Much?
What happens to equilibrium when the temperature is decreased?
It moves to try and increase the temperature. Moves in the exothermic direction to produce more heat.
C5 - How Much?
What is relationship between product formed and limiting reactants?
The amount of Podunk formed is directly proporation all to the amount of limiting reactant. E.g halving the amount of limiting reactant will halve the gas produced.
C5 - How Much?
What is a reversible reaction?
One where the products of the reactions can themselves react to produce the original reactants.
C5 - How Much?
What is equilibrium?
When the forward reaction is going at exactly the same rate as the backward one. Meaning the concentrations of reactants and products have reached a balance and won’t change.

Describe measuring the mass of gas produced…
Can be measured by carrying out the experiment on a mass balance. As gas is released, the mass disappearing is easily measured on the balance. Most accurate because the mass balance is very accurate. But the gas is released straight out into the room.

What should the first titration be?

What 3 ways can gas volume be collected?
Gas syringe, upturned measuring cylinder or but pretty, and measuring the mass of gas produced.
C5 - How Much?
Describe using an upturned burette or measuring cylinder…
Use a delivery tube to bubble gas into an upturned cylinder or gas jar filled with water. Method is no good for collecting things like hydrogen chloride or ammonia because they dissolve in water. Using a burette is more accurate as you can measure to the nearest 0.1cm cubed.
C5 - How Much?

C5 - How Much?
What happens to equilibrium in the ionisation of a weak acid?
The reversible reaction sets up an equilibrium mixture and since only a few H⁺ ions are released, the equilibrium lies well to the left.

What is ethanoic acid’s electrical conductivity?
It has a much lower conductivity than the same concentration of hydrochloric acid.
C5 - How Much?
Why are stronger acids better electrical conductors?
The ions carry charge through the acid solutions as they move. The lower the concentration of ions, the less charge can be carried.

C5 - How Much?
What happens when you add magnesium or calcium carbonate to a weak acid?
The collision frequency between the reactants is low.
C5 - How Much?
What happens to equilibrium when H+ ions react?
Concentration of H+ falls , so equilibrium shifts to compensate - meaning more H+ are released. These ions react, so equilibrium shifts again. As ions are removed, more are supplied - drip-feed.
C5 - How Much?
What happens to H+ ions in a strong acid?
All acid molecules are ionised and lots of H+ ions are sitting there waiting to go.
C5 - How Much?
What happens when magnesium or calcium carbonate is added to a strong acid?
Collision frequency between the reactants is really high.
C5 - How Much?
What will the difference in product be in a weak acid compared to a strong acid?
The same amount - produced at different rates.
C5 - How Much?
Why is the amount of product the same for weak and strong acids?
Because if the concentrations are the same, the number of molecules in a litre will be the same.
