just for tes Flashcards
for a chemical reaction,a rise in temp. by 10 degree C increases k by
k becomes 2x
activation energy
energy required to reach activated complex
graph is draw ___v/s Kinetic energy. fill in the blank
Ne/Nt
Ne-> number of molecules with energy e
Nt-> total number of moleclues
what happens to the graph ____ v/s Kinetic Energy when temperature is increased?
graph broadens out and moves to the right
what does the peak of the graph show?
mpk-> most probable kinetic energy
define “most probable kinetic energy”
K.E possessed by maximum fraction of molecules
KClO3————–>?
(MnO2)
2KCl+ 3O2
difference between catalyst and inhibitor?
the word inhibitor is to be used when the added substance REDUCES the rate of the reaction
Otherwise,the added substance is called catalyst
Explain the action of a catalyst
Catalyst participates in chemical reaction by forming temporary bond with reactant.This forms an intermediate complex.This complex then decomposes to form the product.
Does a catalyst alter Gibbs energy?
NO
A catalyst catalyses __________ reaction,but not __________ reaction
spontaneous,non-spontaneous
Role of catalyst(detailed-1 marker)
Catalyst creates an alternate pathway for reaction to occur such that the activation energy is reduced and hence,lowering POTENTIAL ENERGY barrier. Lowering activation energy-> faster reaction
