Q

Important conversions for concentration:

A

1dm3 = 1L

1cm3 = 1ml

cm3 /1000 = dm3

dm3 x 1000 = cm3

Q

How do you calculate a new concentration from a given concentration and volume?

A

To calculate the new concentration:

C1V1 = C2V2

Worked example:

20cm3 of 2mol/dm3 HCl was added to 80cm3 of water - what is the new concentration?

  1. First assign the values for C1, V1, C2, V2 - C1 = 2mol/dm3 V1 = 0.020 dm3 C2 = ? V2 = 0.1dm3
  2. Substitute values and rearrange - 2 x 0.02 = C2 x 0.1 C2 = 2 x 0.02 / 0.1 = 0.4 mol/dm3

16
Q

What are concordant results?

A

Titres which are within 0.1cm3 of each other

17
Q

What is molar volume?

A

1 mol of any substance in the gas state occupies the same volume at the same temperature and pressure

At room temp and pressure, the molar volume is 24dm3

18
Q

What equation links gaseous moles and molar volume?

A

Amount (mol) = volume (dm3) / 24

19
Q

Define ‘rate of reaction’

A

How quickly reactants are used up or products are formed

20
Q

How do you calculate rate of reaction?

A

Rate of reaction = Amount of products produced / time

Rate of reaction = Amount of reactants used / time

21
Q

What is ‘collision theory’?

A

In order for two particles to react with each other, two things need to happen:

  • Reacting particles need to collide
  • They need to have enough energy (more than activation energy)

If these two things happen: a successful collision will occur

22
Q

Something will increase the rate of reaction if it:

A
  • Increases the number of collisions
  • Increases the percentage of successful collisions
23
Q

When the temperature of a reaction is increased:

A
  1. The number of collisions increase as the particles are moving more quickly
  2. The percentage of collisions which are successful increases because all the particles have more energy

This results in an increase in rate of reaction

24
Q

How does an increased concentration affect rate of reaction?

A

Increasing concentration increases the reaction rate because the particles have become more crowded which increases the number of collisions

25
Q

What do catalysts do?

A

Catalysts lower the activation energy of a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway.

They have no effects on the number of collisions however they do increase the percentage of successful collisions.

26
Q

How does pressure affect the rate of reaction?

A

Increasing pressure increases the reaction rate because the particles have become more crowded which increases the number of collisions

27
Q

How does surface area affect rate of reaction?

A

Increasing the surface area increases the reaction rate because more particles are available to collide with, increasing the number of collisions.

28
Q

What is a reversible reaction?

A

A reversible reaction is one in which the products are able to react with each other to change back into the reactants without any additional changes.

29
Q

Define ‘equilibrium’

A

When the forward rate of reaction is equal to the backwards rate of reaction in a reversible reaction.

30
Q

How does the rate change over time during equilibrium?

A
  • The rate of the forward reaction decreases
  • The rate of the backward reaction increases
  • Until they are the same - the rate stops changing
31
Q

How does the concentration change over time during equilibrium?

A
  • The concentration of the reactants decreases
  • The concentration of the products increase
  • The concentration stops changing until equilibrium is reached
32
Q

What is the position of equilibrium?

A

The position of equilibrium is related to the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants

It is on the left if the reactant concentration is greater than the product concentration

It is on the right if the product concentration is greater than the reactant concentration

33
Q

Position of equilibrium on the left:

A
34
Q

Position of equilibrium on the right:

A
35
Q

What is Le Chatelier’s principle?

A

‘Any change made to a reaction which is in equilibrium, will result in the equilibrium position moving to minimise the change made’

36
Q

What effect does temperature have on dynamic equilibrium?

A

If you decrease the temperature, the equilibrium will move in the exothermic direction to produce more heat

If you increase the temperature, the equilibrium will move in the endothermic direction to absorb the extra heat

37
Q

What effect does pressure have on dynamic equilibrium?

A

If you increase the pressure, the equilibrium will move towards the side that has fewer moles of gas to reduce pressure.

If you decrease the pressure, the equilibrium will move towards the side that has more moles of gas to increase pressure.

38
Q

What effect does concentartion have on dynamic equilibrium?

A

If you increase the concentration of the reactants, the equilibrium will move to the right to use up the reactants.

If you increase the concentration of the products, the equilibrium will move to the left to use up the products.

Decreasing the concentrations will have the opposite effect.
