chem Flashcards
How do you increase the rate of reaction?
increase tempature, increase surface area, increase concentration, add a catalyst
What are the properties of a catalyst?
increases the rate of reaction without being used up and can be recovered while being completly unchanged
why are catalysts used in industry
because they allow reactions to take place at lower temputures which saves money and energy
how do you monitor the rate of a insoluble reaction
flask with topper on it with a pipe going through to a mesuring cylinder with water in it
how do you monitor the rate of a soluble reaction
flask with topper on it and a pipe going through the topper to a gas syringe
what is the endpoint of a reaction
where the line goes flat
what does the endpoint on a graph show
the reaction has stopped
how do you find the rate of reaction
change in quantity divided by change in time
what is inside the nucleus
protons and neutrons
what is the charge and mass of a neutron
no charge with a mass of 1 amu
what is the charge and mass of a proton
positive with a mass of 1 amu
what is the charge and mass of an electron
negative with a mass of 0 amu
where can you find the atomic number
in the perodic table on top of each element
what does the atomic number tell you
the number of protons
what is the mass number
the number of protons plus neutrons
what does the nuclide notation show you
the mass number and the atomic number
why must the number of electrons and protons in an atom be the same
becuase atoms have to have a neutral charge
what is an isotope
isotopes are atoms with the saem atomic number but different mass number
what does RAM stand for
relative atomic mass
when are ions formed
when an atom gains or losses electron
what happens when an atom doesnt have an equal number of protons to electrons
an ion is formed
why do metal atoms lose electrons
to form a posative ion
why do non-metal atoms gain electrons
to form a negative ion and make a strong outer shell of 8 electrons
what is a molecule
a molecule is made up of 2 or more atoms bonded together via covalent bonding, a molecule is typically made up of non-metal atoms only.
what is a covalent bond
a covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between two non-metals
how are the atoms in a molecule held together
electrostatic force of attraction between the positive nuclei of the atom and the negatively charged electrons
what is linear
one bond
what is angular
two bonds
