Unit 8 Flashcards
Collision Model
molecules must collide with enough energy and the correct orientation in order to react
To increase reaction rate you… (4)
increase concentration
Increase temperature
Increase surface area
add a catalyst
Catalyst
a substance that speeds up a reaction by LOWERING ACTIVATION ENERGY
Activation energy
minimum energy requried for a reaction
Endothermic diagram
energy with the reactants starts out low, and is absorbed in to raise products.
(energy absorbed is everything below prod.)
Exothermic diagram
energy with the reactants starts high, and is released out to lower the products.
(energy released is everything below react.)
Reversible Reactions…
always move towards equilibrium
In Eq, if a product is removed the system will shift..
right
In Eq, if a product is added the system will shift…
left
in Eq, if a reactant is added the system will shift
right
in Eq if a reactant is removed the system will shift
left
In Eq if heat is in the products
the system is endo
In Eq if heat is in the reactants
the system is exo
In Eq if pressure is increased
the system will move right

Slope= rate
Equilibriam is when slopes flatten
