F = Rates of reaction Flashcards
7 properties that affect the rate of a chemical reaction
- Temperature
- Concentration
- Catalyst
- Surface area
- Pressure (gases)
- pH
- Light intensity
Gradient of a graph = ?
delta y / delta x
Describe an experiment to investigate the affect of varying temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction
Do the same for the affect of concerntration
CROSS DISAPPEARING EXPERIMENT
1-Measure a fixed volume of you solution e.g. 10cm^2 of Sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) and fixed volume of water e.g. 40cm^3
2-Add 5cm^3 of HCL in the conical flask
3-Measure the initial temperature of the solution and start the stop watch
4-Record time for the cross to disappear
5-Repeat the experiment (without changing any of the measurements) at different temperatures
You can vary the temperature using a bunsen burner
For concentration you do the same thing but the temperature becomes constant and you vary the amount of water you add
Difference between a catalyst and a catalase
Catalases are enzymes where as catalysts are not
Equipment used to measure the amount of gas produced (2)
- Either collected over water
- Gas syringe
