9
Q

catalysts influencing ROR

A

-provides an alternate pathway by lowering activation energy for a particular reaction
- particles on the surface distort and disrupt the bonds w/in molecules hence lowers Ea required for reaction-> greater proportion of particles w energy greater than Ea and successful collisions - increase ROR

Q

ways to measure ROR

A

to determine how fast a reaction occurs:
- measure rate of gas production
- measure change in mass
- for reaction w acids and bases - measure change in pH over time
- if produces a precipitate then measure time it takes for solution to become cloudy

Q

temperature and K

A

exothermic - temp. increase - K decreases
endothermic - temp increase - K increases

21
Q

If K is less than Q

A

reaction shifts left

22
Q

If K is greater than Q

A

reaction will shift right

23
Q

If K is equal to Q

A

no shift in equilibrium

24
Q

tackling equilibrium question - layout

A

I - intital
C - change
E - equilibrium
F - final conc

25
Q

le chatelier’s principle

A

IF AN EQUILIBRIUM SYSTEM IS SUBJECTED TO A CHANGE, THEN THE SYSTEM WILL SHIFT IN A DIRECTION THAT PARTIALLY OPPOSES THAT CHANGE

26
Q

changes an equilibrium system may be subjected to include:

A
  • A change in temperature (shift depends upon the reaction being endothermic /exothermic)
    -Adding a catalyst (nochange)
    -Adding an inert gas (no change)
    -Addition of a reactant or removal of product (will favour forward reaction)
    -Removal of a reactant or addition of a product (will favour back reaction)
    -A change in pressure
    -Dilution(solutions)
27
Q

catalyst effect on equilibrium

A
  • NO EFFECT b/c catalyst will affect the forward and back reaction equally
28
Q

adding an inert gas - effect on equilibrium

A

NO EFFECT - gas is unreactive so takes no part in the reaction

29
Q

change to equilibrium - addition of reactant

A
  • formation of more products - a net forward reaction - equilibrium shifts right
30
Q

change to equilibrium - adding a product

A
  • formation of more reactants - net reverse reaction - equilibrium will shift to left
31
Q

change to equilibrium - remove product

A
  • form more products - net forward reaction - equilibrium shifts right
32
Q

effect of changing temp on equilibrium

A

increase temp = favour endothermic reaction, where enthalpy change = POS bc system wants to reduce temperature

decrease temp = favour exothermic reaction, where enthalpy change = NEG bc system wants to increase temp

33
Q

effect of changing pressure on equilibrium

A

decrease pressure = favour fewer gas moles
increase pressure = favours more gas moles

34
Q

what is the haber process

A

industrial manufacturing of NH3 from H and N

35
Q

conditions of haber process

A

200 atm , 400-450 celcius and iron catalyst

36
Q

% yield equation

A

actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

37
Q

how to increase yield for haber process

A

decrease temp, increase pressure , excess of reactant or removal of a product in order to favour the forward reaction

38
Q

health and safety considerations - haber process

A

pressurised system , dangerous if inhaled , toxic and corrosive

39
Q

what to do when Kc is reversed

A

use the reciprical

40
Q

what to do when Kc is halved

A

square root

41
Q

effect of dilution on equilibrium

A

conc decrease for all particles, favour reaction that will produce the most mol.

42
Q

on graph why does the curve never return to same point

A

SYSTEM CAN ONLY PARTIALLY OPPOSE CHANGE

43
Q

CO poisoning

A

instead of oxygen binding to haemoglobin the carbon monoxide binds
- problem because CO has much higher K value and affinity to bind with Hb4

44
Q

how to combat CO poisoning

A

must significantly increase conc of O2 to encourage Hb4 and O2 to react which will then cause back reaction of Hb4CO4 to attempt to increase Hb4 in system which then increase Hb4 to bind with O2

45
Q

how can Kc be high at a temp but ROR is low

A

Kc does not indicate ROR

46
Q

limiting reagant

A

can cause a reaction to cease - decrease ROR

47
Q

faradays 1st law

A

the amount of any substance discharged at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electric charge passed through - linear

  • mass gained at cathode= mass lost at anode
48
Q

faradays 2nd law

A
  • the amount in mol. of any substance discharged at an electrode during electrolysis is the reciprocal of the charge of the charge on the ion
  • greater charge on the ion then greater electrical charge to discharge ion
