Q

What is activation energy ?

A

The minimum energ that the colliding particles need to react l

83
Q

Why does a higher temperature speed up the rate of a reaction ?

A

The particles have more energy and move faster
This leads to more collisions
More successful collisions in a given period of time- activation energy can be overcome
Increases rate of reaction

84
Q

How does having a higher concentration of a solution increase the rate of a reaction ?

A

There are more particles present in the same volume
This leads to more collisions between the particles
More successful collisions in a given period of time
Increases the rate of the reaction

85
Q

Tips for graphs that have a higher temp?

A

Gas volume starts at zero
Gas volume gets higher every time
The line levels off earlier
Line ends at same final gas volume

86
Q

What is a catalyst?

A

A substance that speeds up the rate of a reaction without being used up itself

87
Q

How do catalysts work?

92
Q

Why might manufacturers prefer getting a lower yield ?

93
Q

Why might high pressure for gases not be used ?

A

It is expensive and can be dangerous for staff

94
Q

What is a compromise temperature ?

A

Allows enough of the product to be made in as short time period as possible

95
Q

Why might using s better catalyst be more effective and sustainable ?

A
  1. Using less energy - reduces the temperature and pressure required
  2. Using renewable raw material
  3. Being carried out in fewer steps - saves waste
