Q

Mass of reactant on a graph

A
  • At first decreases rapidly
  • Slows as reaction progresses (reactant gets used up less quickly)
  • Mass of reactant is 0

Q

Volume of product on a graph

A
  • Starts at 0 (no products yet)
  • Quickly increases as product is formed
  • Graph becomes less steep
  • Eventually plateau’s (levels off) when a reactant is used up

Q

What factors affect collision theory?

A
  • Amount of energy the particles have (more energy means more energy transfer during collisions)
  • Frequency of collisions (more frequent collisions mean more successful ones)

Q

How does temperature increase rate of reaction?

A
  • Temp. increase means particles gain more energy
  • Particles move faster
  • More frequent collisions
  • Collide with more energy
  • More likely to exceed activation energy
  • More successful collisions

Q

How does concentration/pressure increase rate of reaction

A
  • Increase in concentration/pressure means increase in particles (per unit of volume)
  • More frequent collisions

16
Q

Where does the equilibrium lie when there are more products?

A

To the right of the equation

17
Q

Where does the equilibrium lie when there are more reactants?

A

To the left of the equation

18
Q

What conditions impact the position of equilibrium?

A

-Temperature
-Pressure
-Concentration

19
Q

When can equilibrium be reached?

A

When the reversible reaction is done in a closed system

20
Q

What is Le Chatelier’s Principle?

A

When changing the conditions of a reversible reaction, the position of equilibrium will change to counteract the change

21
Q

What happens when the temperature of a reversible reaction is decreased?

A

The position of equilibrium moves the side of the reaction that is exothermic. Exothermic reactions create temperature increase and that counteracts the decrease

22
Q

What happens when the temperature of a reversible reaction is increased

A

The position of equilibrium moves the side of the reaction that is endothermic. Endothermic reactions create temperature decrease and that counteracts the increase

23
Q

What happens when the pressure of a reversible reaction is increased?

A

The position of equilibrium moves to the side of the equation with the least molecules

24
Q

What happens when the pressure of a reversible reaction is decreased?

A

The position of equilibrium moves to the side of the equation with the most particles

25
Q

What happens when the concentration of a reversible reaction is increased?

A

The position of the equilibrium moves to the other side of the equation and produces more product/reactant (depends on what side the equilibrium was initially on)

26
Q

What happens when the concentration of a reversible reaction is decreased?

A

The position of the equilibrium moves to the other side of the equation and produces less product/reactant (depends on what side the equilibrium was initially on)

27
Q

Pressure only impact substances in what state?

A

Gaseous
