What side are the Reactants?
Left
What is the Collision Theory?
It states for a chemical reaction to happen the reacting particles have to collide with each other with activation energy for a reaction to take place.
What is Activation Energy?
The minimum amount of energy that particles must have to react
What are the 5 main factors affecting rate of reactions?
1) Temperature
2) Concentration
3) Pressure
4) Surface area
5) Catalysts
What is temperature?
It is a measurement of how hot something is.
What is Concentration?
Is a measurement of the number of particles dissolved in a given volume solvent.
What is Pressure?
Is a measurement of the number of particles in a given volume of gas.
What is Surface area?
Is the total area of all surfaces of a substance.
What is Catalysts?
Is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.
How does Temperature affect rate of reaction?
If you increase the temperature, you increase the Kinetic energy of particles
This means that the particles move more frequently and rapidly
Meaning particles are more likely to collide with activation energy.
How does Concentration affect rate of reaction?
If you increase the concentration of the reactant in the solution, it will increase the number of particles
This means that there are more frequent collisions.
How does Pressure affect rate of reaction?
If you increase the pressure of a reaction in a gas, there will be a increase of particles
Meaning particles move more closely with each other, which increases frequency of collisions.
How does Surface Area affect rate of reaction?
If you increase the surface area of a solid reactant this will increase the frequency of collisions.
How does Catalysts affect rate of reaction?
A catalysts speeds up a reaction without interfering wit h the reaction and isn’t used up.
For catalysts to work they all decrease the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur. So lower activation energy=Higher rate of reaction.
What are 2 equations of rates of reactions?
RoR=quantity of reactant formed/time taken
RoR=quantity of product formed/time taken
What are the 3 main ways to measure rates of reactions?
1) Change in mass(Usually given off)
2) Precipitation and colour change
3) The volume of gas given off
What equation do you use to find out Change in mass?
RoR=quantity of product formed/time taken
What equation do you use to find out the volume of gas given off?
RoR=quantity of reactant formed/time taken
What is the equation of Precipitation and Colour change
1/time or 0/time
What is the method for the Experiment of Magnesium and HCI reacting to produce Hydrogen?
1) Pour dilute Hydrochloric acid into a conical flask and carefully place on mass balance.
2) Add some magnesium ribbon to the acid then after put cotton wool in the conical flask.
3) Start stopwatch and record the mass of the balance
4) Higher concentration=Faster reaction
