Q

The Laplace Law

A

the heat change (or enthalpy change) of a chemical reaction is exactly equal but opposite in sign for the reverse reaction
∆Hforward reaction = ∆Hbackword reaction
(a) CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l) [here, ∆H0 = -890.3 kJ mol-1]
(b) CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l) → CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) [here, ∆H0 = +890.3 kJ mol-1]

Q

Energy

A

stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic.

Q

three types of thermodynamics systems

A

open
closed
isolated

17
Q

isolated system

A

thermodynamic system that cannot exchange either energy or matter outside the boundaries of the system
1. The system may be so distant from another system that it cannot interact with them.
2. The system may be enclosed such that neither energy nor mass may enter or exit.

18
Q

Closed systems

A

only closed to matter, energy can be exchanged across the system’s boundaries

19
Q

Open system

A

exchange both energy and matter with its surroundings

20
Q

Hess’ Law

A

The enthalpy change accompanying a chemical reaction is independent of the route by which the chemical reaction occurs.

21
Q

1st law of thermodynamics

A

a systems energy content remains constant as well as not being able to be created or destroyed

22
Q

Activation energy

A

minimum energy required

23
Q

Increase temp effect on Maxwell-Boltzmann diagram

A

move right

24
Q

Reaction Rate for a given chemical reaction

A

measure of the change in concentration of the reactants or the change in concentration of the products per unit time

25
speed of a chemical reaction
change in concentration of a substance divided by the time interval during which this change is observed
26
Rate formula
change in concentration (of products or reactants)/ time
27
Reaction rate and concentration
increases more of the reacting molecules or ions are present to form the reaction products limit is often reached where increasing the concentration has little effect on the rate of reaction. When several reactants are involved, increasing the concentration of one of them may not affect the rate of reaction if not enough of the other reactants is available
28
Reaction rate and Temperature
increases Particles can only react when they collide heat a substance, the particles move faster and so collide more frequently disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.
29
Reaction rate and Surface Area + on graph
cutting the substance into small pieces, or by grinding it into a powder more particles are exposed to the other reactant there are more collisions the rate of reaction increases has a steeper gradient at the start becomes horizontal sooner
30
half-life of a reaction
amount of time needed for a reactant concentration to decrease by half compared to its initial concentration used in chemistry and medicine to predict the concentration of a substance over time
31
concepts of half life plays a key role in
administration of drugs into the target, especially in the elimination phase, where half life is used to determine how quickly a drug decrease in the target after it has been absorbed in the unit of time (sec, minute, day,etc.) or elimination rate constant ke (minute-1, hour-1, day-1,etc.).
32
Zero order kinetics
rate of a reaction does not depend on the substrate concentration slope of this plot is a straight line with negative slope the half-life of zero order reaction decreases as the concentration decreases
33
First Order Kinetics
slope continually decreases as time progresses until it reaches zero the length of half-life will be constant, independent of concentration takes the same amount of time for the concentration to decrease from one point to another point
34
Second Order Reactions
decrease at a much faster rate length of half-life increases while the concentration of substrate constantly decreases, unlike zero and first order reaction
35
rate equation
rate = k [A]a [B]b shows the effect of changing the concentrations of the reactants on the rate of the reaction
36
rate constant
only changes if conc changes
37
The Arrhenius equation
k = Ae ^Ea/RT
38
gas constant
constant which comes from an equation, pV=nRT, which relates the pressure, volume and temperature of a particular number of moles of gas
39
Activation energy, EA units
joules per mole
