the revision quiz for rate of reaction Flashcards
What does the rate of reaction tell us?
The speed a product is formed
4 main factors that can change the rate of reaction?
- temperature
- concentration
- particle size
- catalyst use
why is rate of reaction important to industries?
finding out how fast products are made and what causes them to slow down we can develop methods to improve production
What effect does increasing temperature have on the rate of reaction?
if the temperature is higher, the rate of reaction is faster
What effect does increasing concentration have on the rate of reaction?
There are more reactant particles moving together. There will be more collisions and so the reaction rate is increased.
What effect does increasing the surface area (reducing particle size) of reactants have on the rate of reaction?
The smaller the particle size/the larger the faster the reaction.
What effect does adding a catalyst have on the rate of reaction?
A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without getting consumed in the process.
sodium chloride solution, zine, copper, connecting wires and voltmeter experiment?
a homemade battery
what is the purpose of sodium chloride solution?
preserve food materials in distance transportation and also de-icing of road
what is the function of a salt bridge?
help maintain electrical neutrality within the internal circuit.
