U1-1-1 - Monitoring rate Flashcards
Use this to revise the Rate of Reaction topic, which is part of the Chemical Changes and Structure unit. This topic covers: factors which affect reaction rate, average rate calculations, monitoring rate experimentally and rate graphs.
What can be used to collect a soluble gas?
Gas syringe

Why does the reaction rate decrease as the reaction goes on?
The reactants are getting used up.
During a reaction, the mass of gas produced was measured in g. Time was measured in s.
Average rate will have units of …
g s−1.
What can be used to collect an insoluble gas?
Inverted measuring cylinder (shown), gas syringe

During a reaction, the volume of gas produced was measured in cm3. Time was measured in min.
Average rate will have units of …
cm3 min−1.
Name this piece of equipment

Gas syringe
What is wrong with this diagram of a measuring cylinder?
No graduation marks (see correct version shown)
This can be measured to monitor rate without collecting a gas
Mass (loss)
