Q

Why is it more accurate to comparing Initial rate of reaction when comparing rates?

A

Because the rate changes as the reaction proceeds along with the amounts of reactants

Q

When doing titrimetric analysis:
What is an aliquot?
What is quenching?
Why is the mixture quenched?

A

A small portion of the reaction mixture
Stopping the reaction
To prevent the reaction going any further until analysis can be carried out

Q

What does the rate of reaction measure in terms of collisions?

A

How frequently effective collisions occur

17
Q

What is the definition of activation energy? What is the symbol?

A

The minimum amount of energy required to start a reaction by breaking bonds
Ea

18
Q

What causes particles without activation energy to simply bounce off each other?

A

The repulsion between their negative electrons clouds

19
Q

What happens during an unsuccessful collision between reactant particles?

A

Particles move towards each other, slow down, stop, then fly apart again unchanged

20
Q

What happens to the kinetic energy of particles as they come together?

A

It goes down and is transformed into potential energy

21
Q

What happens on exothermic reaction profile?

A

Ea- reactant molecules are coming together and bonds are breaking apart. Energy is being absorbed
Product molecules are forming and moving away from each other. Energy is being released

22
Q

What property of the reacting particles determines whether the activation energy will be met or not?

A

The combined initial kinetic energies of the colliding particles

23
Q

What happens during a reaction with a catalyst?

A

Particles come together and bonds start to break
Activated complex forms
Activated complex bonds break
Product molecules form and move apart

24
Q

What is the definition of an activated complex?

A

A transitional structure in a chemical reaction that results from an effective collisions between molecules and that persists while old bonds are breaking in new bonds are forming

25
Q

Do you all particles in a reaction mixture have the same amount of chemical energy?

A

No

26
Q

What is the Mazwell-Boltzmann model?

A

A model for expressing the distribution of energy among the molecules of a gas in thermal equilibrium

27
Q

What does the area under a graph in a Maxwell Boltzmann model represent?

A

The total number of particles

28
Q

What does the peak on a Maxwell Boltzmann model represent?

A

The average speed of the particles

29
Q

How does a catalyst speed up the reaction?

A

Catalyst provides an alternative route/mechanism (1)
with lower activation energy
ALLOW low activation energy (1)
So a higher proportion (ALLOW more) molecules / collisions (ALLOW reactants) have energy equal to or greater than Ea
