Q

We learnt about collision theory in book 1 , how is this in relation to the rate equation

A

-reactions only proceed when successful collisions occur - that is particl emust collide with the correct orientaiton and with enough energy to overcoe the activation barrier 9i.e activation energy 0 . HOw frequently these successful collision soccur will determine the rate of a reaction .

Q

what is the order of reaction used for

A

-If more than one reactant is invovled in a reaction , each reactant can affect the rate of the reaction differently . The effect of the individul is described by stting an order with respect to each reactant . COnsider a reactant A , it is concentration affects the rate of a reaction . This can be expressed mathemticlly check page 10 .

Q

Rate reactions and overall orders

A

Chemist use rate equations to mathematically express the influence each reactant has on a reaction .
-Take the reaction A+B+C—. products .

-If the order for A , B and C were x y and z perspectively you could wirte the following expression for the rat .

rate is proportionla [A][B][C]

-The sign for proportional can be removed if a constant is addded into the equation . Chemists use the rate constant , k , he rate constant links the concentrations and orders of reactants to the rate . The expressiono then becomes a rate equation .

Q

if any reactant is zero order , willit appear in the rate equation

A

no , that is because it does not affect the rate . For instance , in our example above , where the order are 0 , 1 , and 2 , with respect to A , B and C , the rate equation would be
rate=k[A]0[B]1[C]2

however , BECAUSE ANY NUMBER raised to the power of zero is one ,t he reactant can be remove d, powers of 2 can also e omited from outisde the brackets . but do not remove the reactant fromt he rate wquaiton .

rate ewution will become
RATE=K[B][C]2

-This will cause a shift in the equilibrium , position from the left to right , the same will be true , for the rate constants Kp , as t his will also remain constant when conc or the equivalent partial pressures are changed .

122
Q

what will changes in pressure do to kc - if the pressure is doubled , what will happen to the concentrations of both gases

A

it will also effectively double , .

123
Q

learning tip for pressure and volume - being inversely proportional

A

if the pressure is increasing , and there are no changes in temperature , or concentration therefore then the volume must be decreasing .

-concentration and volume can be linked by n=cv .

-If the number of moles stay the same , and volume decreases , concentration must increase .
-The molar volume of any gas is proportional to its partial pressure , so increases concentration = increases partial pressure .

124
Q

what if the value of kc is now 25.6

A

the system is no longer in equilibrium so the equilibrium positions must shift , to restore the ratio to the kc so the value of 12.8 , the system must ;
-Decrease of NO2 on the top
Increase in N204 on the bottom .
-Causing shift in the equilibrium position form right to the left , this will also be true for the rate constant Kp.

125
Q

how does the presence of catalsyt affect k

A

it dosent for kc and kp ,
-it affects the chemical reaction but not the position of equilibrium .

-Catalyst speeds up both the forward and reverse reactions in the equilibrium by the same factor . Equilibrium , is reached more quickly , but the equilibrium position and hence the value of the equilibrium constant is unchanged , by the action of a catalyst.

as a weak monobasic aicd only partialll dissociaites thereofre , WHEN SETTING UP THE EQUILIBRIUM .
-We can no longer assume hdyrogen+ is ewqual tot hte concentration of the aicd , we needto work out the vle of K for the reaction - to find the extent of disscoiationt hat has occured to dictate the value of H+ .

Ka= (h+)(A-)/HA

184
Q

things to know about calculaitng weak acids (1)

A

for weak acids (H+) is much less than HA because the extent of dissociation is so SMALL .
-When HA moleucles dissociate , H+ and A- ions are formed in equal quantities and it is iassumed that any water present will l hae dissocited to such a negligible maount htat it will not affect the cocnentration of H+

200
Q

How do you use Kw , to calculate the Ph of strong abses

A

-to workout the pH of stong bses we need to know H+ and this depnds on
-the cocnentriton of the base
-the ionic product of water Kw = 1.00*10-14 (because th is links with (h+) AND (Oh-)

201
Q

a strong monobasic alkali - give an example of this

A

NAOH is comeptlelu dissocited in aqueous solution . This means that (oh-) of a strong base is equal to the cocnentratio of the basw
NAOH —NA+ +OH-
SO (Oh-)=(NAOH)
we can find (H+) from kw and (Oh-)
kw=(H+) and (oh-).
Kw =(h+)(0h-)
(h+) =kw/(oh-)
the pH canbe calcualted using pH=-log10(H+)

227
Q

what happens when there are equal amounts of weak acid and conjugate base

A

the indicator is at its end point .

228
Q

how do you know that a titration has reached its end point

A

end points are accompanied by a visual colour change that allows for a titration to be monitored easily . For example ,t he colour of the end point for methyl orange is orange , at which point HIN (red) and (In-) are eqqual .

229
Q

most indicators change colour over what range

A

of about two pH units .
-The pH ranges for the indicators shown in figue 2 on page 46 .

230
Q

How to use the correct indicator for a titration ?

A

-Choose a pH value close to the end point as possible to the pH value of the titrations equivalence point .
-In practice , a suitable indicator , changes colour within the pH range in the vertical section of the titration curve .

231
Q

For the following curves , the ranges of the indicators are not actually on the equivalence point , so how can you show that the reaction has reached this point ?

A

As the equivalence point , occurs halfway through an incredibly sharp rise or fall in pH , the moment at which the indicator passes through its end point is effectively the same as the moment that the equivalence point takes place .
