Unit 9 Flashcards
organic problems
What is homolysis?
Type of bond cleavage in which each atom gain an electron (2 same products)
What is heterolysis?
Type of bond cleavage in which one atom gets both electrons from the bond. (2 different products)
When a catalyst is added to a system at equilibrium what happens?
A decrease in activation energy
What does homogeneous mean?
Reaction takes place in a single phase
What does heterogeneous mean?
Reaction involves two different phases
Does a catalyst have an affect of Kc or the relative energies of reactants and products?
No
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes at room temperature to form oxygen and water, what would adding manganese do?
It would lower the activation energy and increase the rate
Why does increased surface area mean increased rate of reaction>
exposes more reactant for collisions
What will increase the solubility of KCl in water?
Increasing the temperature
