Q

what affects does concentration have on the rate

A

.the higher the concentration the faster the reaction (unless that reagent is zero order). because particles are closer together and so there are more frequent and successful collisions

Q

what affects does surface area have on the rate

A

.the more pieces a solid is broken up to the bigger the surface area the greater the surface area the greater the rate of reaction, because there are more particles exposed at the surface that can be collided with and so there’s more frequent successful collisions

Q

what affect does pressure have on the rate

A

the higher the pressure the higher the rate, particles have more energy and so greater proportion of the collisions are successful the particles also move faster and so collisions are more frequent therefore there are more frequent successful collisions

Q

what affect does a catalyst have on the rate

A

a catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a reaction but is not used up it provides alternative route /mechanism with a lower activation energy and therefore a greater proportion of the collisions are successful

Q

how to measure rate of reaction using colour change method

A

you can track the colour change using a colorimeter which measure the absorbance, the more concentrated the colour the higher the absorbance

you can measure the change in absorbance by plotting a calibration curve a graph of known concentrations against absorbance

during the experiment take small sample from reaction solution at regular intervals and read the absorbance

use calibration curve to convert the absorbance at each time point into a concentration

Cl(g) + O3(g) ⟶ ClO(g) + O2(g) –slow (rate-determining step)
ClO(g) + O(g) ⟶Cl(g) + O2(g) — fast
what is the rate equation

rate = k[Cl*][O3].

51

CH₃COCH₃(aq) + I₂(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⟶ CH₃COCH₂I(aq) + H⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)

rate = k[CH₃COCH₃][H⁺]

what should you say about the reaction

A

*propanone and H+ are in the rate equation so they or something derived from them must be in the rate determining step

*iodine is not in the rate equation so it is not involved until after the rate determine step

*the order of reaction for both propane and H+ is 1 so the rate determine step must use 1 molecule of each

*H+ is a catalyst so it must be regenerated in another step

59
Q

A

increase the rate of reaction by providing alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation energy

60
Q

A

catalyst in the same state as the reactant

61
Q

catalyst in different state to to the reactants

*can be easily separated from from the products and leftover reactants

63
Q

disadvantages of heterogenous catalyst

A

can be poisoned which means substance clings to the surface more strongly than the reactant does preventing catalyst from getting involved in the reaction its meant to be speeding up

64
Q

*A small fixed amount of phenol is present which reacts immediately with the bromine as it is produced, thus removing it from solution.
*Explain why it is essential for the amount of phenol to be small compared to the amounts of the reactants for this assumption to be valid.

A

so the phenol is used up

65
Q

A series of experiments was carried out where only the concentration of bromide ions present was varied and the solution contained a large excess of BrO3− and H+ ions. The total volume of the mixture was kept constant.
Why was it important that the solution contained a large excess of BrO3− and H+ ions?

A

so that the concentration of bromide ions is the only variable

66

A

2SO₄²⁻ + I₂

75
Q

what is evidence for a reaction having more than one step

A

*because number of particles in rate equation does not match number of particles in that equation
*the number of molecules in equation for that reaction colliding simultaneously is unlikely
*chance of number of reactants in the equation for the reaction colliding is unlikely

76
Q

why would reactants be in large excess in reaction

A

*so they do not affect the rate
*to ensure they are virtually constant
*to make sure theres only one variable constant

77
Q

what further experiment could you do to show a order of reaction with respect to a certain reactant is one and state its effect on the graph

A

*monitor the reactant over time plot concentration time graph and show that the half life is constant
or
*double the reactant and the rate should change by the same factor or the gradient would double too
