C7, C8 Flashcards
bond making is:
exothermic
the effect of pressure
- increasing the pressure increases the frequency of collisions
- so increases the rate of reaction
collision theory:
- particles collide all the time, but only some lead to reactions
- increasing the number of collisions produces faster rates of reactions
- larger surface area increases the frequency of collisions.
reaction profile for exothermic reactions:
-the products are at a lower energy level than the reactants.
energy and reversible reactions
- one reaction is exothermic and the other is endothermic
- the amount of energy transferred to the surroundings in one direction is exactly equal to the the energy transferred back in the other direction
energy is conserved in chemical reactions. It is neither created nor destroyed
energy is conserved in chemical reactions. It is neither created nor destroyed
endothermic reaction examples:
- citric acid and sodium hydrogencarbonate
- decomposition of calcium carbonate
surface area:
- if the surface area to volume ratio of any solid reactants increases the rate of a reaction increases.
- this increases the frequency of collisions between reacting particles
how can you represent reversible reactions?
-using the sign with one arrow pointing forwards and one pointing backwards.
reaction profile for endothermic reactions:
-the products are at a higher energy level than the reactants.
exothermic changes use:
- hand warmers
- self-hearing cans
explain the experiment for hydrochloric acid(required practical)
place 1 g of marble chips(calcium carbonate) in a chronicle flask of 50 cm³ of hydrochloric acid. Immediately placed the bung on the chronicle flask and record the…
what happens when the pressure is decreased in a reversible reaction? (le chatelier’s principle)
when pressure is decreased, volume is increased and makes a shift to the left with more moles of gas
the activation energy is:
the minimum amount of energy needed to start a reaction
what happens if we remove the heat from the reversible reaction? (le chatelier’s principle)
if heat is removed we shift to the right
the effect of temperature:
- as temperature increases reactions happen more quickly
- increasing temp increases the rate of reaction because particles collide more frequently and more energetically
