CI Flashcards
What is the equation for the iodine clock experiment?
H2O2 + 2H+ + 2I- –> 2H2O + I2
Colourless –> coloured
+Sodium thiosulfate and iodine
What is the reaction for sodium thiosulfate with iodine?
2S2O3 2- + I2 –> 2I- + S4O6 2-
What is the rate equation?
Rate = k[A]a[B]b
Conc = constant
Rate graphs/order
Conc/time graphs - rate/conc graphs
Straight down = straight across (0 order)
Curve down = increase proportionately (1st order)
Curve down = curve up (2nd order)
What is the Arrhenius equation?
k = Ae ^ (-Ea/RT)
A = arrhenius constant
e = exponential
What happens to Ea/k as temp increases?
Smaller
K increases
Arrhenius equation with removed exponential
ln k = ln A - Ea/RT
What does a graph of ln k against 1/T tell us?
Gradient = -Ea/R
Arrhenius in the form y = mx + c
lnk = -Ea/RT + ln A
How to find A from ln A
e ^ ln A
What is the rate determining step?
Slowest step in multi-step reaction
Multi-step can be sped up by adding catalyst/increasing step
N2O systematic name
Nitrous oxide
NO systematic name
Nitric oxide
Test for nitrate ions
Heat with Devarda’s alloy to form ammonia gas
Ssmelly + bleaches
How to measure initial rate using half life graph
Slope/gradient of tangent at origin
