Rates of Reaction Flashcards
Steep stope means?
Fast reaction
Mean rate of reaction formula
quantity of product formed / time taken
What is collision theory?
chemical reactions can only take place when the reacting particles collide with each other. collisions must have sufficient energy
RP 5 Rates of reaction
RP 5 Disappearing cross reaction, effect of conc
- Measuring cylinder to put 10cm3 of sodium thiosulfate solution to conical flask
- Place conical flask onto printed black cross
- Add 10cm3 HCL to conical flask
- Swirl solution and start stopwatch
- Look down through top of flask
- Solution will turn cloudy and wont see the cross
- Repeat with low conc sodium thiosulfate solution
- Repeat whole and calc mean values for each conc of sodium thiosulfate solution
rp 5 disappearing cross
sodium thiosulfate solution + Hcl
sulfure (solid) - makes solution go cloudy (causes turbidity)
What is reproducibility
- Can be repeated by antoher using a diff technique or equipment
- Same result
Prob with disappearing cross experiment
- diff ppl have diff eyesights = some ppl can see cross for longer = diff results
- HOWEVER, cross is same size so prob not too great
RP 5
How to measure vol of a gas produced by a reaction
- Use measuring cylinder to place 50cm3 HCl into conical flask
- Attach conical flask to bung and delivery tube
- Place delivery tube into container filled with water
- upturned measuring cyclidner filled with water over delivery tube
- Add 3cm strip of MG to HCL and start stopwatch
- Hydrogen gas produced and thats trapped in MC
- Every 10s, measure vol of H gas until reaction over
- Repeat with diff conc of HCL
rp 5 measure gas
magnesium + hcl
hydrogen + magnesium chloride
Greater conc means?
faster reaction
larger surface area means?
faster reaction
What causes a reaction to become faster?
- larger sa
- higher conc of a chemical
- higher temp
- catalyst
What does cotton wool on a conical flask do?
- allows carbon dioxide to escape
- prevents acid from splashing out of flask
Activation energy
min aount of energy that particles must have in order to react collide successfully
Why does increasing temp increase rate of reaction?
- increase energy of particles
- move faster
- increases freq of collisions
- each collision has more energy
- can overcome avtivation energy needed
