Q

what happens to the rate of reaction when increasing the temperature

A

there is an increase in the KE of the reactant molecules, which makes them move faster, makes them collide more often, and makes them collide with more energy

Q

what happens to the rate of reaction when increasing the reactant concentration

A

6
Q

what happens to the rate of reaction when you add a catalyst?

A

speeds up the rate of the reaction of both the forward and reverse reactions by the same amountsk by providing an alternative pathway that has a lower activation energy. As a result, more collisions provide sufficient energy for reactants to form product

Q

le chatelier’s principle

25
Q

what is the relationship between the 2 rate constants of the forward and the reverse reaction?

A

k1/k-1 = Kc

the rate is numerically identical to the equilibrium constant

26
Q

what is Ea (forward) - Ea (reverse) equal to

A

E (forward) - E (reverse)

27
Q

what state do catalysts decrease?

A

the transition state

28
Q

what does oxygen transport involve

A

an equilibrium between hemoglobin Hb, oxygen, and oxyhemoglobin HbO2

29
Q

Chatelier’s principle of oxygen in water

A

oxygen is poorly soluble in water and so the equilibrium is in favour of the formatio of oxygen gas and not aqueous oxygen: the equilibrium shifts to the left

O2 + H2O (equilibrium sign) O2

30
Q

how can we perturb the equilibrium of oxygen in water

A

by addition of hemoglobin which gives rise to oxyhemoglobin: the concentration of oxygen that is free decreases because it is bound to haemoglobin

31
Q

what happens when there is a high pressure of oxygen in the alveoli

A

the reaction shifts in the direction of oxyhemoglobin

32
Q

what happens when there is a low pressure of oxygen in the tissues

A

the equilibrium shifts to release oxygen from HbO2

33
Q

what happens at normal Patm

A

oxygen diffuses into the blood because the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli is higher than in the blood.

34
Q

what happens at a decrease in Patm

A

results in a lower pressure of oxygen which means less oxygen is available for the blood and body tissues

35
Q

the equilibrium constant for hemoglobin

A

Keq = [HbO2]/[Hb]p^4 O2

oxygen gas binds with a 1: 4 stoichiometry (1Hb: 4O2)

36
Q

what happens at an altitude of 18,000ft

A

a person will obtain 29% less oxygen and may result in hypoxia

37
Q

hypoxia

A

respiratory rate, headache, fatigue

38
Q

what happens when there is a general decrease of oxygen in the air

A

the equilibrium will shift in the direction of the reactants thus depleting the conc of HbO2

39
Q

thermodynamics

A

measure of energies

40
Q

state variables

A

define the conditions of a reaction in regard with pressure, volume, temperature and chemical composition

41
Q

system

A

the reaction mixture we have: where the reaction takes place

42
Q

1st law of thermodynamics

A

the change of the internal energy of a closed system equals to the heat supplies to the system minus the work done by the system

43
Q

internal energy U

A

a state function that represents all the internal energy present in our reactants, products and molecules

44
Q

variation of internal energy of a state

A

ΔU = q + w

q= heat released/supplied by the system
w= work done on/by the system

45
Q

how can work be manifested in chemistry

A

by observing a change in volume

pe = external pressure

46
Q

what is the variation of enthalpy at a constant pressure equal to?

A

A

comes from the combination of internal energy, pressure and volume and its variation is equal to heat.it is a state function and an extensive property

48
Q

A

it depends on the state and size of the system

A

the heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction

51
Q

what does ΔHo mean

A

it is measured at the standard state (1atm, 298.15 K, and the solutions 1M)

52
Q

second law of thermodynamics

A

spontaneous processes are characterized by an increase in the disorder of the universe (entropy)

53
Q

what happens to the variation of entropy in spontaneous processes

A

the variation of entropy is equal or greater than the ratio between the heat exchange and teh temperature

ΔS > q/t

54
Q

55
Q

A

state function introduced by gibbs and it refers to the energy exchanged throughout a chemical reaction

A

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

57
Q

ΔG < 0

A

exergonic and it occurs spontaneously

58
Q
