Chemistry Flashcards 3 -
What is the test for oxygen?
Test for hydrogen?
The test for CO2?
- It relights a glowing splint if oxygen is present
- a squeaky-pop is heard if hydrogen is present
- When bubbling through limewater it turns cloudy if CO2 is present
What is the formula for the mass of the element or compound?
- The number of moles in a sample x Mr
What group has the reactivity series?
Group 1
What is the collision theory? (Two)
- A reaction can only take place when particles (atoms, ions and molecules) of reactants come together
- The reacting particles must bump into each other with enough energy to cause a chemical reaction to take place.
When are reactions more likely to happen between reactant particles? (Two)
- Increase the frequency of collisions between reacting particles
- Increase the energy the reacting particles have when they collide
What 3 techniques are used to collect ‘rate of reaction’ data?
- Measuring the decreasing mass of a reaction mixture
- Measuring the increasing volume of a gas given off
- Measuring the decreasing light passing through a solution
How does surface area affect the rate of reaction? (Two)
- The larger the surface area of a solid reactant, the faster the rate of reaction
- Because more surface area of the solid reactant will be exposed to the other reactant (more collisions per second)
How does the concentration of a solution affect the rate of reaction? (Two)
- The higher the concentration of a liquid reactant, the faster rate of reaction
- Because there are more reactant particles in the given volume, resulting in a higher number of collisions
How does the pressure of a reactant affect the rate of reaction? (Two)
- If a reaction involves gases then the higher the pressure, the faster the rate of reaction
- Because there are more reactant particles, resulting in more collisions
How does the temperature of a reactant affect the rate of reaction? (Two)
- The higher the temperature, the faster the rate of reaction
- Because the reactant particles have more kinetic energy resulting in a higher number of collisions
How does the presence of a catalyst affect the rate of reaction? (Two)
- A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the reaction without being involved in the reaction itself
- They speed up the reaction because a catalyst lowers the activation energy, resulting in a higher number of collisions
concentration equation?
Concentration = mass/volume
Why is electrolysis used to extract some metals?
To separate metal ions from a solution or molten substance and deposit them as pure metal at the electrodes
What are the properties of crude oil? (Two)
- Black, sticky, smelly liquid
- A mixture of hydrocarbons
What is a hydrocarbon?
Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon only!
How is crude oil formed? (Four stages)
- Plankton (tiny, marine creatures) died and sank to the bottom of the ocean. (takes millions of years)
- These formed a marine deposit
- The layer of plankton got covered by sand/mud removing oxygen
- Heat and pressure turned mud into sedimentary rock - thus plankton turns into crude oil.
