What colour are noble gasses at room temperature?
colourless
Why are noble gasses inert? (what does it mean?
Because they have a full outer shell of electrons (they don’t react much)
Why is argon used in filament lamps?
It isn’t flammable so stops the hot filament from burning away.
What are noble gasses are used to protect metals from being welded together with oxygen and how is this done?
Argon and helium are used and they create an inert atmosphere which prevents the oxygen from being welded to the hot metal.
What happens to properties of noble gasses as you go down group 0?
The boiling point melting point and density all increase
What are the 3 experiments done to follow reaction rates?
Precipitation, change in mass and volume of gas given off.
How does the precipitation practical show how reaction rates work?
1)mix 2 reactant solutions and put a flask on a piece of paper that has a mark (like a large cross)
2)look through top of the flask and see how long it takes for the mark to be obscured, faster it disappears the faster the reaction rate.
How does the change in mass show how reaction rates work?
1)Can measure the rate of reaction that produces a gas using a mass balance.
2)lost mass can be measured in balance quicker reading drops faster the reaction is
How does the volume of gas given off show how reaction rates work?
1) uses gas syringe to measure volume of gas given off.
2)more gas given off during a set time (further back syringe goes) the faster the reaction
3)Reaction finished when no more gas is being produced (bubbles stop)
4)graph should be gas volume against time elapsed
5)use right syringe if too small and rate of reaction to powerful pushes could end out of syringe.
How does surface area affect rate experiment?
1)measure volume of gas in syringe, take recordings at set intervals, measure volume of gas produced using syringe readings, repeat the experiment with same concentration and volume of gas. Use same mass of marble chips but change size to bigger and powder.
the sooner the reaction finishes the faster the reaction is, the steeper the gradient graph is the faster the rate of reaction is. Once the line is flat no more gas will be produced. Finer particles = larger surface area. greater mass gives faster reaction and more gas is made due to there being extra surface area
How does changing concentration affect reaction rate?
Higher concentration means higher rate of reaction because more particles can collide
What is the practical for reaction rate involving precipitation?
Temperature affects reaction rate between HCL and sodium thiosulfate, both are colourless clear acids but when mixed together create a yellow precipitate. The time taken for the precipitate to form measures the rate of reaction. Mix a fixed volume of both, gently heat them before mixing using a water bath, mix them in a conical flask and put that flask over a piece of paper with a black cross. watch the solution go from cloudy to yellow sulfur and measure in seconds how long it takes. the reactions are different at different temperatures, as long as the depth, volume and concentration are kept the same.
What is collision theory?
Collision theory is a chemical reactions occur only when the reactant particles collide with sufficient energy to react
Why does increasing temperature increase rate of reaction?
Increasing the temperature makes particles have more energy, this means that they have more collisions with other particles and the rate of reaction increases.
why does breaking a solid into more pieces increase its surface area to volume ratio?
The solid becomes more exposed an as there are more pieces of the solid there are more pieces for particles to collide and react with
why does increasing concentration or pressure rate?
There are more pieces of the solid there are more pieces for particles to collide and react with
Do endothermic reactions absorb or release energy?
they absorb energy
