C8 Flashcards
How is rate of reaction caculated?
Rate of reaction = amounof reactant used or product formed / time taken
Describe measuring the rate by monitoring mass loss
Place the reaction flask on a balance. In these reactions a gas is given off, so record the decrease in mass
Describe measuring the rate by monitoring the volume of a gas?
Connect a gas syringe to a reaction flask and measure the volume of a gas formed in time intervals
Describe measuring the rate by monitoring the disappearance of a cross?
Take a piece of paper and mark a cross on it, put the reacrion flask on this cross, mix the reagents, and measure how long it takes for a cloudy mixture to cover the cross
State 5 factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction?
Concentration Pressure Surface area Temperature Catalysts
What is the collision theory?
Chemical reactions can occur only when reacting particles collide with each other with sufficient energy
Describe and explain the effect of increasing temperature on the rate of reaction?
As temp increases the react
