Chemistry S2 Final Flashcards
What factors affect reaction rates?
Temp (T), Concentration ( [ ] ), Particle Size, Catalyst
What factors affect equilibrium?
T, [ ]
What factors affect Keq
T
Is a spontaneous reaction always fast?
No, it will just happen naturally
Describe how a catalyst increases reaction rates
Lowers the Activation Energy
Describe how increasing temperature increases reaction rates
Increases of the number and energy of frequencies
Describe how increasing concentration increases reaction rates
Increases # of collisions
Describe how decreasing particle size increases reaction rates
Increases the surface area
Keq = ??
Products / Reactants
Avogadro’s Number
6.02 x 10^23
What Keq is thermodynamically favorable
Keq > 1
Relationship between pOH and pH
14 = pOH + pH
Relationship between pOH and [OH-]
pOH = - log [OH-]
[OH-] = 10^-(pOH)
What are the four indications (signs) a chemical reactions might have happened?
Change in color, different state, produced solid (precipitation), temp. change.
What are the four “driving forces” of a chemical reaction? (not enthalpy and entropy)
Formation of Solid, formation of water, transfer of electrons (redox), formation of a gas
Enthalpy
Sum of a thermodynamic system’s energy
Entropy
State of disorder or randomness
What two compounds are always produced in a combustion reaction?
CO2 + H2O
Which reactions are redox?
Almost anything that isn’t double replacement
Dissolve
Go into solution
Dissociate
Break apart into separate atoms or ions
Ionize
Break apart into separate ions
Double Replacement
Two ionic compounds in an aqueous solution. Ions swap partners
