C6 - Rates Flashcards
What is rate of reaction?
The speed at which a chemical reaction takes place
How to do thenMeasuring gas produced RPA
-React calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid in a conical flask with a bung and tube to a gas syringe
-Record volume of gas made every ten seconds
-Repeat for different concentrations of acid
How to do measuring turbidity change RPA
-Mix reactants in comical flask over a piece of paper with a cross drawn on it
-While looking from above time how long it takes for the mixture to disappear due to to the mixture going cloudy
-Repeat for different concentrations of acid
Control variables for rates of reaction RPAS
Volume of reactants
Mass of reactants
Temperature
What does the gradient represent on a quantity -time graph for a reaction represent
Rate of reaction (g/s or cm3/s)
During a reversible reaction, both the forward and reverse reaction will
Continuously take place
What does equilibrium mean?
The forwards rate of the reaction is equal to the backwards rate of the reaction
What is La Chatelier’s principle?
If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change, the system will adjust to counteract the change (do the opposite)
Increasing the pressure of a reaction favours the side that produces the
Fewest moles
Increasing concentration of a reaction favours the side that produces the
Fewer moles
Removing a product from one side shifts the position of equilateral in …. To
That direction, to increase more of it
Increasing temperature favours the
Endothermic reaction
