Q

Why does an incomplete reaction not give 100% yield?

A

As not all the reactants are used up because the reaction has not been left for long enough, or the reaction may reach equilibrium

73
Q

When do reversible reactions reach equilibrium?

A

When they’re in a closed system where no substances can enter or leave

74
Q

In a dynamic equilibrium:

A
  • The forward and backward reactions still happen at the same rate
  • the concentrations of all reacting substances don’t change
75
Q

If the temperature is increased, how is the position of equilibrium and time take to reach equilibrium effected?

A

Position of equilibrium moves in the direction of the endothermic reaction
And time taken to reach equilibrium decreases

76
Q

If the pressure is increased, how is the position of equilibrium and time take to reach equilibrium effected?

A

Position of equilibrium moves towards the side of the balanced equation with fewer molecules of reacting gas and time taken to reach equilibrium decreases

77
Q

If the concentration of a reacting substance is increased, how is the position of equilibrium and time take to reach equilibrium effected?

A

Position of equilibrium moves away from the reacting substance in the balanced equation and the time taken to reach equilibrium decreases

78
Q

If a catalyst is added , how is the position of equilibrium and time take to reach equilibrium effected?

A

The position of equilibrium doesn’t change and the time taken to reach equilibrium decreases

79
Q

How may chemical manufactures make a profit?

A

Make a compromise on yield and time taken and may mean reactions aren’t allowed to reach equilibrium

80
Q

Why do chemical manufacturers make compromises when producing product?

A

As it’s not profitable if it takes years to reach equilibrium and choosing conditions that give a high rate of reaction isn’t worthwhile if it’s too expensive

81
Q

Where nitrogen and hydrogen react to produce ammonia:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

82
Q

Where does the equilibrium move if pressure is increased in the Haber process?

A

The the right

83
Q

What effect do high pressures have on the Haber process?

A

Increase yield of ammonia and increase the rate of the reaction

84
Q

What pressure is used in the Haber proces?

A

200 atmospheres as any higher and it becomes too expensive to maintain

85
Q

What part of the Haber process is exothermic and endothermic?

A

Forward reaction is exothermic and backward reaction is endothermic

86
Q

What temp is used in the Haber process and what happens when the temp is increased?

A

The position of the equilibrium moves to the left in the direction if the endothermic reaction.
Temp used is 450°C

87
Q

Why doesn’t the Haber process use very high or low temperatures?

A

Electrons Flow through the eternal circuit and hydrogen ions pass through a membrane to the right hand electrode

102
Q

What happens at the right hand electrode of a fuel cell? Include a half equation.

A

Hydrogen ions gain electrons and react with oxygen
