Q

Do catalysts have higher activation energy

20
Q

What is meant by the rate if a reaction

A

How fast the reactants are converted into products

21
Q

What does high concentration do with the collisions of particles?

A

More collisions

22
Q

What does low concentration do with the collision of particles

A

Fewer collsions

23
Q

What does decreasing the activation energy do to particles

A

More particles will have sufficient energy go overcome the energy barrier and react

24
Q

What is the symbol for potassium

25
What is the unit for rate of reaction in a reaction involving change in mass
g/s (grams per second)
26
What is the unit for rate of reaction in a reaction involiving change in volume?
cm3/s (centimetres cubed per second)
27
What does increasing the pressure have on rate of reaction
Increases the rate of reaction
28
What does increasing the surface area have on rate of reaction
Increases the rate of reaction
29
What is definition of a catalyst
A substance that increases the rate of reaction but is not used up in the reaction
30
How do catalysts increases the rate of a reaction?
They lower the activation energy of the reaction, so more collisions result in a reaction
31
Where are geostationary satellites placed in space
Above the equator
32
How does increasing the surface area affect rate of reactions
Increase in the number of collisions as more surface is exposed
33
What is the equation for calculating the mean rate of reaction?
Mean rate = change in quantity of product or reactant / time taken
34
What are some uses of satellites
Transmitting TV signals, comminications, monitoring the weather, studying earth and space, navigations and GPS
35
Can some stars become black holes?
Yes
36
What is a supernova?
When a star collapses it creates a mssive showkwave that blows its core apart, called a supernova
37
What is a heliocentric model of the universe?
The planets and moons orbit the sun
38
What is a geocentric model of the universe?
Instead of the sun at the centre, the earth is and everything orbits the earth
39
What is a independent variable
The independent variable is the one that you change
40
What is a control variable
A control variable is the variable you keep the same
41
What is a dependent variable
The dependent variable is the variable that you measure
42
What is an element?
An element is a substance that consists of only one type of atom and it cannot be broken down
43
What is the name of a process when solid turns to gas?
Sublimation
44
What is the name of the process when gas turns to solid?
Deposistion
45
What is evaporation?
When a liquid turns into a gas
46
What is condensation?
When a gas turns into a liquid
47
What is the name of group 0 in the periodic table.
Noble gases
