Q

What is the conclusion for the practical to investigate reaction rate by measuring gas volume?

Q

What happens to catalysts used in chemical plants?

23
Q

What happens to a reverisble reaction at equilibrium when the temperature is increased?

A

Position of equilibrium shifts in the endothermic reaction to cool the closed system down

24
Q

What happens if you change the coniditions for a reaction in equilibrium?

A

The position of equilibrium shifts in favour of the thing which has a lower amount of those conditions

25
Q

What happens if you add an alkali to HLit?

A

It turns into the Lit- ion by losing an H+ ion

26
Q

What happens if the forward reaction produces more molecules of gas?

A

An increase in pressure decreases the amount of products formed

27
Q

What happens if the forward reaction produces fewer molecules of gas?

A

An increase in pressure increases the amount of prodcuts formed

28
Q

What happens at equilibrium with a reversible reaction?

A

The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction

29
Q

What does Le Chatelier’s principle state?

A

If any of the conditions of a reversible reaction at equilibrium are changed, the system will adapt to counteract it.

30
Q

What does increased pressure do to the rate of reaction?

A

It squashes gas particles more closely together, increasing the chance they will collide and react

31
Q

What does a chemical reaction’s rate tell us?

A

How quickly reactants are converted into products

32
Q

What do the relative amounts of the reactants and products in a reversible reaction at equilibrium depend on?

A

The temperature

33
Q

What do many of the catalysts used in the industry involve?

A

Transition metals

34

Blue

35

A

Red

36
Q

What colour change in heating copper sulfate crystals shows the change in the presence of water?

A

Blue to white

37
Q

What can the changes in conditions with Le Chateilier’s Principle be?

A

Concentration, pressure or temperature

38
Q

What can Litmus be represented as?

A

HLit

39
Q

What are the two ways you can work out the rate of a chemical reaction?

A

How quickly the reactants are used up and how quickly the products are made

40
Q

What are the two ways reactions are more likely to happen between reactant particles?

A

By increasing the frequency of reacting particles colliding with each other and increasing the energy you have when they collide

41
Q

What are the two reasons why raising temperature increases the rate of reaction?

A

Particles collide more often and particles collide with more energy

42
Q

What are the three techniques you can use to get the rate of a reaction?

A
  • Change in mass
  • Change in color
  • Increase/decrease in volume
43
Q

What are the four main factors which affect the rate of chemical reactions?

A
  • Temperature
  • Surface area
  • Concentration
  • Pressure
44
Q

What are catalysts normally used in the form of and why?

A

Powders, pellets or fine gauzes because these types of substances have high surface areas

45
Q

Particles that are moving around more quickly have more ___

A

energy

46
Q

In a reversible reaction, as the concentration of products builds up, the rate at which they react to re-form reactants ____

A

increases

47
Q

If a compound has water, what is it known as?

A

Hydrated

48
Q

If a compound has water removed, what is it known as?

A

Anhydrous

49
Q

How would you find the rate of reaction when reacting marble chips with hydrochloric acid?

A

By plotting the volume of carbon dioxide gas given off as the reaction progresses over time

50
Q

How do catalysts increase the rates of reactions?

A

By providing an alternative reaction pathway to the products with a lower activation energy than the reaction without the catalyst present. This means the frequency of effective collisions increases.

51
Q

How do catalysts help the environment?

A

Because using high temperatures and pressures often involves burning fossil fuels. So it stops carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere, combatting climate change

52
Q

How can you investigate the effect of changing concentration?

A

By reacting marble chips with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid

53
Q

How can you calculate the rate of a reaction at a given time?

A

Drawing a tangent to the curve at that point, constructing a right angled triangle and calculating the gradient

54
Q

Explain the effect that a cataluyst has on equillibrium

A
  • no effect
  • speeds up both foward and reverse
55

A
  • Safety concers
  • Expensive
