Q

What is the Arrhenius equation relating the rates of a reaction with and without a catalyst?
Include the equation for when temperature is different.

A

Ln (rate cat/rate uncat) = Delta Ea / RT (same temperature/A)

His-Rate cat/Rate uncat = e^((Ea noncat- Ea cat )/ RT)

DiffTemp-
ratecat/rateuncat = e^(Eanoncat/RTnoncat minus Eacat/RTcat)

21
Q

How do the forward and backwards Ea relate?

A

Ea reverse = Ea forward + Delta H or E (Delta H is equal to Delta E)

22
Q

What is the equation for bond energies and delta H?

A

Delta H is energy in reactant minus products

23
Q

What are the three things that prove a reaction mechanism is possible?

A

Adds up to overall, same rate law, presence of intermediates

24
Q

How do you get the rate law from a reaction mechanism when one step is slow?

A

Rate law of the slow elementary reaction is the rate law of overall (may need to substitute to get rid of intermediates)

25
Q

How do you get started on a rate law for a reaction mechanism when no reactions are slow?

A

Look at overall products and find something that is only produced once

26
Q

Describe the steady state approximation

A

Make an assumption that the intermediate’s concentration never accumulates, and remains steady. It remains steady only if the rate of formation is equal to the rate of consumption.

27
Q

What can you assume if the rate of a reverse reaction is faster than the forward reaction of the next reaction?

A

The second one is slow (and therefore the first is at equilibrium)

28
Q

What is the equation for the equilibrium constant K?

aA+bB->cC+dD

A

pressure/concentration of C raised to c times D raised to d over A raised to a times B raised to b

29
Q

How does the equilibrium constant K change when reversing a reaction?

A

1/K

30
Q

How does the equilibrium constant K change when multiplying a reaction by a number?

A

K^n

31
Q

How does K tell you if products or reactants will be favored?

A

K>1 favor products, K<1 favor reactants

32
Q

What is the equation for the new K when adding equations?

A

K1*K2

33
Q

What factor will change the equilibrium constant?

A

Temperature

34
Q

What is the equation that shows how the equilibrium constant changes with temperature?

A

Ln (K2/K1) = -Delta H/R (1/T2 - 1/T1)

35
Q

What is the formula for converting between Kp and Kc?

A

Kp=Kc(RT)^Delta n
R is .08206 Latm over molesK
Delta n is sum of coefficients of products minus sum of coefficients of reactants

36
Q

How is Q calculated?

A

Like Kc, but the values are original, not equilibrium

37
Q

How can you tell which way a reaction will run if you have Q and K?

A

Q greater than K, reaction will move right to left

Q less than K, reaction will move left to right

38
Q

What is the quadratic formula?

A

-b +/- the square root of b^2 - 4ac all over 2a

39
Q

What simplification can you make when you are working with ICE tables and K is very small?

A

You can assume the x’s on the bottom are very small and leave them off (Check simplification by doing a percent error calculation, error should be below 5%)

40
Q

How do you calculate percent error?

A

(theoretical-actual) over theoretical

41
Q

Describe LeChatelier’s principle

A

If a change in conditions (a “stress”) is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium position will shift in the direction that tends to reduce the effect of the change in conditions

42
Q

Which direction will the reaction head if reactants are added?

A

Forward, toward products

43
Q

Which direction will the reaction head if products are added?

A

Backward, toward reactants

44
Q

Which direction will the reaction head if temperature is increased?

A

Whichever direction is endothermic

45
Q

Which direction will the reaction head if temperature is decreased?

A

Whichever direction is exothermic

46
Q

Which direction will the reaction head if pressure is increased?

A

The side with fewer gas molecules

47
Q

Which direction will the reaction head if pressure is decreased?

A

The side with more gas molecules

48
Q

What is the effect of adding an inert gas when a reaction is at equilibrium?

A

None, ratio of partial pressures remains the same

49
Q

What is R in atmL/moleK?

A

.08206

50
Q

What can you tell (in a set of elementary reactions that may form a possible mechanism) if the second equation is slow?

A

The first is at equilibrium

51
Q

What is R in kJ?

A

.00831447 or 8.3145x10^-3

52
Q

What is the conversion between atm and torr?

A

1 atm = 760 torr
