Rate of Reaction Flashcards
Rate of Reaction
Describes how quickly the products are formed in a chemical reaction.
What are the 4 signs of a chemical reaction?
Colour change
Effervescence
Precipitation
Energy change
How can you increase the rate of reaction? (Make the slope steeper)
Increasing concentration
Increasing temperature
Decreasing particle size
Add a catalyst
Catalyst
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction and can be recovered chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.
Higher rate -
Faster reaction
Methods to Monitor rate (gas is insoluble)
Inverted measuring cylinder filled with water
Gas syringe
Balance
Methods to monitor rate (gas is water soluble)
Gas syringe
Balance
Draw a method diagram of an inverted measuring cylinder filled with water
Check page 6 of booklet
Draw a method diagram of a gas syringe
Check page 8 of booklet
Why should you use a gas syringe rather than gas collection over water?
Because it’s suitable for any gas (soluble or insolubility)
