Q

Give 2 ways rate of reactions are affected:

A

Surface area - surface area to volume ratio

Concentration - More particles = more successful collisions

Temperature - An increase in energy makes particles move quicker.

Why does temperature affect the rate of reaction?

A

Particles heated —> more energy —> faster —> greater frequency of collisions —> faster rate of reaction

Q

Define the equilibrium.
Tpiarrawtfabrorats
T,taospitrmrc

A

The point in a reversible reaction at which the forward and backward rates of reaction are the same. Therefore, the amounts of substances present in the reacting mixture remain constant.

20
Q

What is Le Chatelier’s principle?

A

The idea that if you change the conditions of a reversible reaction then the position of equilibrium will shift to try and counteract that change.

21
Q

In terms of reactants and products, what is a forward reaction and a reverse reaction?

A

A forward reaction = reactants to products
A reverse reaction = products to reactants

23
Q

Fill: Crude oil is a f_____ resource found in rocks. It was formed over millions of years from the remains of tiny, ancient s__ a______ and p_____, mainly plankton, that were buried in mud. Over time, layer upon layer of rock was laid down on top, creating the conditions (high pressure and temperature, in the absence of oxygen) to make c____ o__.
The process of d___________ is used to seperate crude oil into fractions. This is because the different fractions have different b______ p_____.

A

Crude oil is a finite resource found in rocks. It was formed over millions of years from the remains of tiny, ancient sea animals and plants, mainly plankton, that were buried in mud. Over time, layer upon layer of rock was laid down on top, creating the conditions (high pressure and temperature, in the absence of oxygen) to make crude oil.
The process of distillation is used to seperate crude oil into fractions. This is because the different fractions have different boiling points.

24
Q

Which is which?
What we change
What we measure
What we keep consistent (reliability)

A

What we change - independent variable
What we measure - dependent variable
What we keep consistent (reliability) - control variable

25
Q

How many years left of crude oil in the world?

A

47

26
Q

Give 2 uses of crude oil:

A
  • vehicle fuel
  • heating buildings
  • producing electricity
  • can be converted into petroleum products.
27
Q

What is biodiesel?

A

Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable fuel manufactured domestically from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease. Biodiesel meets both the biomass-based diesel and overall advanced biofuel requirement of the renewable fuel standard.

28
Q

Give one pro and one con of using biodiesel as a fuel:

A

Pros:
Can reduce the need for landfill space.
Cleaner than fossil fuels when they burn.

Cons:
Expensive to produce
Takes up land that could be used for food production

29
Q

Define carbon-neutral.

A

Making or resulting in no net release of CO2 into the atmosphere, especially as a result of carbon offsetting.

30
Q

Why is there still slightly more CO2 released into the atmosphere overall than the amount of CO2 absorbed by the growing crop?

A
  • Burning fossil fuels and changing land use.
  • Trees are are meant to absorb CO2, but humans release that CO2 back into the atmosphere by either burning them or letting them rot after the deforestation process.
31
Q

Define a flashpoint.
tltawtvofswi

A

The lowest temperature at which vapours of the substance will ignite.

32
Q

Define the relationship between the number of carbon atoms in the alkane and the alkane’s flashpoint.

A

The higher the number of carbon atoms, the higher the flashpoint.

33
Q

How is crude oil separated by fractional distillation?

A

Crude oil is heated to produce vapour. Vapour cools to separate different compounds.

34
Q

S____ chain hydrocarbons are more u_____ and in h___ demand.
L___ chain hydrocarbons need to be broken down to form these short chain h___________.
In t______ c_______, high temperatures and p________ are used to break the large hydrocarbons into smaller ones. C_______ produces alkenes, which are useful as feedstock for the petrochemical industry.

A

Short chain hydrocarbons are more useful and in high demand.
Long chain hydrocarbons need to be broken down to form these short chain hydrocarbons.

In thermal cracking high temperatures and pressures are used to break the large hydrocarbons into smaller ones. Cracking produces alkenes, which are useful as feedstock for the petrochemical industry.

35
Q

Name 3 problems with using crude oil.

A
  • Fossil fuel
  • Oil spills can be deadly
  • Non-renewable
  • Can cause conflict
  • Drilling is dangerous
36
Q

Define pure.

A

Something that has not been mixed with something else. A chemical that contains one substance eg. pure water is just H20

37
Q

S_____ + s_____ = s_______

A

Solvent + solute = solution

38
Q

A formulation is a m______ that has been designed to do something useful.

A

mixture

39
Q

What is the flame colour of these chemicals?

Sodium chloride
Potassium chloride
Lithium chloride
Magnesium chloride
Copper chloride

A

Sodium chloride = vibrant orange
Potassium chloride = lighter/ paler orange
Lithium chloride = crimson red/ purple
Magnesium chloride = none
Copper chloride = blue/ green streaks

40
Q

Give a benefit and a negative of using a flame test to identify ions.

A

Speed (quick)
Simple

Colours can be hard to differentiate.
Colour blind people will struggle to identify them.

41
Q

Define precipitate.
Aisfom2s

A

An insoluble solid formed on mixing 2 solutions.

42
Q

Define combustion.

A

Combustion is another name for burning.
In a combustion reaction, fuel is burned and reacts with oxygen to release energy.

43
Q

What is needed for a combustion reaction to take place?

A

Oxygen
Heat
Fuel

44
Q

Name their discovery:
JJ Thompson
Rutherford
Chadwick

A

JJ Thompson = Electrons
Rutherford = Alpha scattering . Nucleus positive and most mass is concentrated there.
Chadwick = Neutrons in nucleus

45
Q

How can we measure CO2 levels?

A

Ice cores - taken from Artic + Antarctica. Monitors CO2 levels over period of time.
Tree rings - larger the gap between them, the more growth, more photosynthesis, more CO2 absorbed.
