the rate and extent of chemical change Flashcards
Mean rate of reaction formula
Mean rate of reaction = quantity of reactant used / time taken
Mean rate of reaction = quantities of product formed / time taken
Measurement of quantity of product/reactant
Mass- grams
Volume - cm*3
Factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions
Concentration of reactant in solution
Pressure of reacting gases
Surface area of solid reactants
Temperature
Presence of catalyst
Increasing the temperature 
When temperature is increased the particles Move faster
they move faster so they collide, more frequently, and more energy is provided to them, so more of the collisions will have enough energy to make a reaction happen
Increasing the concentration or pressure
If a solution is more concentrated, it means that more particles are knocking into the same volume of solvent
pressure of gas is increased. This means that the same about particles occupy a smaller space so the collisions are more frequent.
Increasing the surface area
If a reactant is solid, then breaking it up into small pieces with increase the surface area to volume ratio
This would mean that the same volume of the solid the particles around, it would have more area to work on, so there would be more frequent collisions 
Using a catalyst
This is a substance that speeds up a reaction without being used up in the reaction itself, so it does not take part in the overall reactions equation
Collision theory
Reacting collide with each other, and with sufficient energy
The minimum amount of energy that particles must have to react is called activation energy
Reversible reactions
A+B reverse C+D
Energy changes
If a reversible reaction is endothermic in one direction, it is exothermic in the other direction to the same amount of energy transferred in both cases
Equilibrium
If a system is at equilibrium, and change is made to any of the conditions, then the system responds to counteract the change
The effects of changing conditions on the system at equilibrium can be predicted, using a chatelier principle 
Temperature at equilibrium is increased
The amount of product increases of an endothermic reaction
The amount of product at decreases for an exothermic reaction
Temperature of a system at equilibrium is decreased
Amount of product at equilibrium decreases for an endothermic reaction
Amount of product is increased for an exothermic reactions
For gaseous reactions at equilibrium
an increase in pressure causes the equilibrium position to shift towards the side with the smaller number of molecules as shown by the symbol equation for that reaction
a decrease in pressure causes the equilibrium position to shift towards the side with the larger number of molecules as shown by the symbol equation for that reaction
