Chemistry Flashcards
What is potable water?
Water that is drinkable
How can you make potable water from seawater?
Distillation
How do you sterilise water to make it potable ?
Add chlorine or ozone or UV light
How can you tell if water is pure?
It will boil exactly at 100C
What does a catalyst do?
a substance that speeds up a reaction
What happens to the rate if you decrease the temperature?
Decreases
What must happen between particles for a reaction to occur?
Collisions
What is the minimum amount of energy need to start a reaction called?
Activation energy
Why does increasing the concentration increase the rate?
More particles per set volume so more frequent successful collisions
How do you calculate average rate of reaction from a graph?
Work out the volume of gas produced at time stated and divide volume by
time.
