Q

7.5
State the equation used to calculate the rate of reaction

A

r. reaction = change in amount of reac or prod/time

(usually the gradient)

17
Q

7.6
Define the term catalyst

A

-Speeds up r. reaction
-W/o altering products
-Its m remains unchanged

18
Q

7.6
Why are catalysts useful in industry?

A

-↓activation E
-Allow reactions to occur at ↓ temp + pressure
-↓ E cost required to ↑ temp + pressure

19
Q

7.6
Platinum is a very expensive catalyst. Suggest why this does not matter

A

Not used up -> can be re-used

20
Q

7.7
Describe how catalysts increase the rate of reaction

A

-Provide alternate pathway
-W/ lower activation E

(Note: doesn’t increase frequency of collisions. Increases frequency of successful collisions bc particles have greater activation E)

21
Q

7.7
Explain why catalysts in catalytic converters in car exhausts are spread onto a honeycomb structure rather than used as large pieces

A

-↑ SA
-↑ successful frequent collisions
-↑ r. reaction

22
Q

7.7
Explain why catalysts are more effective when the engine has been running for a short time rather than when the engine is first started

A

-Catalyst heats up
-Reaction faster as particles have more KE so move faster

23
Q

7.8
What is an enzyme? What is one use they have?

A

-Biological catalyst
-Speeds up r. reaction

-Produce alcoholic drinks

24
Q

7.8
Compare biological and chemical catalysts

A

-Both lower activation E -> speed r. reaction

-Bio: Specific to certain reactions, denatured by heat/pH
-Chemical: More resistant to heat/pH

25
Q

7.9
a) Name 4 chemical reactions that experience a change in heat energy (energy transferred to or from the surroundings)
b) How can the heat change be measured?

A

a) -Salt dissolve in water
-Neutralisation
-Displacement
-Precipitation
b) Thermometer

26
Q

7.10
What is an exothermic reaction?

A

Heat E given out

27
Q

7.11
What is an endothermic reaction?

A

Heat E taken in

28
Q

7.12
What type of reaction (endo or exo) is
a) making bonds
b) breaking bonds

A

a) exo
b) endo

29
Q

7.13
When will the overall heat energy change for a reaction be exothermic? When will it be endothermic?

A

Exo
-↑ heat E released when forming bonds than breaking
Endo
-↑ heat E released when breaking bonds than forming

30
Q

7.14
Calculate the energy change when hydrogen and chlorine react to form hydrogen chloride
H-H + Cl-Cl -> 2H-Cl
State whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic

Bond energies:
H-H = 436 kJ mol-¹
Cl-Cl = 243 kJ mol-¹
H-Cl = 432 kJ mol-¹

A

H-H
1 × 436 = 436
Cl-Cl
1× 243 = 243
Total E in (bonds broken) = 679

2H-Cl
2 × 432 = 864
Total E out (bonds made) = 864

E change = E in - E out
= 679 - 864
= -185 kJ mol -¹

Exothermic (bc negative sign)

31
Q

7.15
Define the term activation energy

A

Min amount of E required for reaction to occur

32
Q

State the formula for calcium carbonate

A

CaCO₃
