Q

How can you find the rate constant from experimental results

A

By looking at the relationship between the change in concentration and the change in rate eg concentration doubles, rate quadruples means second order

16
Q

What does first order look like on a concentration time graph

A

A downward curve with a decreasing gradient

17
Q

What is half life

A

The time taken for the concentration of a reactant to have which is constant in a first-order concentration

18
Q

What is a gradient of a concentration time graph equal to

A

The gradient of a concentration time graph is equal to the rate

19
Q

How do you measure Half-Life from a concentration time graph

A

Draw a line at half concentration until it meets the graph then down to the time repeat at a quarter and an eighth and then take an average

20
Q

How do you determine k from the rate and a concentration time graph

A

1) Rearrange to make k the subject
2) Find the rate by the gradient
3) divide by the initial concentration

21
Q

How do you determine k from the half-life

A

K= ln2/ T1/2

22
Q

How can you investigate reaction rates using the initial rates method

A

1) Add starch to an excess of hydrogen peroxide
2) Add a small amount of sodium thiosulfate
3) the sodium thiosulfate will react with the iodine and will be used up when all the sodium thiosulfate is gone the mixture will turn blue black
4) time how long it takes to change colour
5) vary concentration

23
Q

How can you investigate reaction rate using the continuous monitoring method

A

Calibrate the colorimeter with water
Measure the absorbance of the solution before the reaction begins
Start the reaction and take readings at regular intervals
use a calibration curve to convert absorbance to concentration
Plot on a concentration time graph

24
Q

What is the rate determining step

A

The slowest step in a multi step reaction

25
Q

Why can you predict reaction mechanisms using the rate determining step

A

The rate equation only includes reacting species involved in the rate-determining step
The orders in the rate equation match the numbers of species in the rate determining step

26
Q

What needs to happen for a reaction to take place

A

Particles need to collide the sufficient energy and correct orientation

27
Q

What effect does increasing temperature have on the rate of a reaction and the rate constant

A

increasing temperature increases speed which increases the frequency of collisions and also energy so a greater proportion have sufficient energy therefore the rate increases and changes the rate constant

28
Q

What is the arhenius equation

A

An exponential relationship between rate constant and temperature

K= Ae^-Ea/RT

29
Q

What is the arhenius equation in logarithmic form and its relationship to y=Mx + c

A

ln k =( -Ea/R)(1/t) + lnA

Y= Mx +c

30
Q

How can you find the activation energy and pre exponential factor using the a graph of lnk against 1/t

A

The gradient is equal to -Ea/R so find the gradient and multiply it by the rate constant r to find the activation energy
Find the y intercept which is equal to lnA and put it as a power of e
