the relative atomic masses of the

atoms added together

17
Q

The relative formula mass of a substance, in grams,

is known as…

A

One mole of that substance

18
Q

Give 3 advantages of instrumental methods when analysing substances.

A

Accurate
Sensitive
Rapid
Useful when the sample is small

19
Q

What do we use to identify additives in food?

A

Chemical analysis (paper chromatography)

20
Q

What does gas chromatography allow?

A

The separation of a mixture in compounds

21
Q

What can we do with the time taken for a substance to travel through the column?

A

Identify the substance

22
Q

What does the mass spectrometer do?

A
  1. gives the relative molecular mass of each of the
    separated substances
  2. Identifies substances leaving at the end of the column
23
Q

What gives the molecular mass?

A

The molecular ion peak

24
Q

Why is it not always possible to

get the calculated amount of a product? (3 marks)

A
  1. The reaction may not get completed because it’s reversible
  2. Some of the product gets lost
  3. The expected reaction may not happen and the reactants may react differently
25
What is the amount of product obtained called?
Yield
26
How do you calculate the rate of a reaction?
The amount of reactant used/Product formed ------------------------------------------------------------------ time
27
What is activation energy?
The minimum amount of energy particles need to react
28
Explain the collision theory
Chemical reactions can only happen when reacting | particles collide with each other and have enough energy
29
How does increasing temperature help the rate of reaction?
Particles gain energy when heated and move faster and collide more often
30
How does increasing pressure help the rate of reaction?
Increases the frequency of collisions
31
How does increasing concentration help the rate of reaction?
Increases the frequency of collisions
32
How does increasing surface area help the rate of reaction?
Increases the frequency of collisions
33
What do catalysts do?
Speed up the rate of chemical reactions
34
In a chemical reaction does the catalyst get used up?
No
35
Why are catalysts important in industry?
Speeds up the reaction and reduces cost
36
When chemical reactions happen what is transferred to or from the surroundings?
Energy
37
What kind of reaction transfers energy to the surroundings?
Exothermic
38
What kind of reaction takes in energy from the surroundings?
Endothermic
39
if a reversible reaction is exothermic in one direction, what is it in the other direction?
Endothermic
