Q

Increasing pressure effect rate of reaction

A

(Increase in pressure) increases the rate
AND because molecules are closer together…
… so there are more collisions per unit time

number.

17
Q

spectator ions

A

Ions that are present but take no part in a chemical reaction.

18
Q

standard state

A
The physical state of a substance under standard conditions of 100 kPa and a
stated temperature (usually 298 K).
19
Q

thermal decomposition

A

The breaking up of a chemical substance with heat into at least two
