Q

when drawing a tangent, how should the ruler be positioned on the graph?

A

place the ruler on the curve at the point where you want to know the slope. the space between the ruler and the curve should be equal on both sides of the point.

Q

what does increasing temperature do in terms of collision?

A

rate increases, because particles move faster so there are more frequent collisions and more particles are colliding with energy greater than the activation energy

Q

how can you increase the surface area of a solid?

A

break up the solid into smaller pieces

22
Q

what does increasing pressure do in terms of collision?

A

same number of particles in a smaller volume so more crowded, frequency of collisions increases.

23
Q

what is a catalyst?

A

a substance which increases rate of chemical reactions but are not used up during the reaction, different reactions need different catalysts

24
Q

example of a biological catalyst?

A

an enzyme

25
Q

how do catalysts increase the rate of reaction

A

provide a different pathway with a lower activation energy.

26
Q

are catalysts included in chemical equations

A

no

27
Q

what is a reversible reaction?

A

the products of the reaction can react to produce the original reactants

28
Q

why does the amount of products and reactant remain the same at equilibrium?

A

the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction so the concentrations of the products and reactant remain constant.

29
Q

how does a reaction reach equilibrium?

A

when a reversible reaction occurs in a closed system and the forward and reverse reaction happen at the same rate

30
Q

what is a closed system?

A

when it is sealed, products and reactants cannot enter or leave

31
Q

an equation to show the reversible reaction when ammonium chloride is heated

A

. >heat
amonium chloride<=>ammonia+hydrogen chloride
. <cool

32
Q

how can you change the direction of a reversible reaction?

A

by changing the conditions of temp, pressure, or concentration

33
Q

if a reversible reaction is exothermic in one direction, what will it be in the opposite direction?

A

endothermic

34
Q

what is the amount of energy like in both directions in a reversible reaction?

A

the same

35
Q

what is equilibrium?

A

when forward and reverse reactions occur at exactly the same rate (when in a closed system so reactants and products cant escape from the apparatus)

36
Q

what is Le Chateliers principle?

A

at equilibrium, if the conditions change it will shift to oppose these changes. (to get back to equilibria)

37
Q

what happens if concentration of one of the reactants or products is changed?

A

the system is no longer at equilibrium and the concentrations of all the substances will change until equilibrium is reached again

38
Q

what happens if concentration of reactants increases?

A

more products will be made until the equilibrium is reached again

39
Q

what happens if the concentration of the products are decreased?

A

more reactants will react until equilibrium is reached again

40
Q

what happens if temperature is increased?

A

the equilibrium will always move in the endothermic direction

41
Q

what happens if temperature is decreased?

A

the equilibrium will always move in the exothermic direction

42
Q

what happens if temperature is increased for an endothermic reaction?

A

the amount of products will increase (it will want to cool back down so favours the endothermic reaction)

43
Q

what happens if temperature is decreased for an endothermic reaction?

A

the amount of products will decrease (it will want to heat up so it favours the exothermic reaction)

44
Q

what happens if the temperature is decreased for an exothermic reaction?

A

the amount of products will increase (it will want to heat up so it favours the exothermic reaction)

45
Q

what happens if temperature is increased for an exothermic reaction?

A

the amount of products will decrease (it will want to heat up so favours the endo thermic reaction)

46
Q

if a change in pressure occurs what do you look at?

A

the number of GASEOUS moles on reactants vs products
e.g: N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g)
there are 4 moles of gas on the reactants side. there are 2 moles of gas on the products side.

47
Q

what happens if pressure is increased in an equilibrium?

A

equilibrium will shift towards the side with less gaseous moles

48
Q

what happens if pressure is decreased in an equilibrium?

A

equilibrium will shift towards the side with more gaseous moles

49
Q

what affect does pressure have if the same number of molecules in the reactant and products

A

no effect

50
Q

what affect does the catalyst have on the position of the equilibrium?

A

none, it speeds up the rate of both the forward and backwards reaction equally
