Y10 Autumn Term Chemistry Roundup Flashcards
What can you do to measure the rate of a reaction?
To measure the rate of a reaction you can:
- Measure how fast the reactants are used up
- Measure how fast the products are made
Name some examples of how you can measure the rate of reaction.
1) Measure mass due to gas formed
2) Measure volume of gas produced
3) Measure time for soluble product to form
What is the equation for working out the rate of a reaction?
Rate = Volume of gas / time (cm/s)
What is collision theory?
Collision theory is the term for what is needed for a reaction to take place
What do the reactants need to do for a reaction to happen?
The reactants need to:
- Collide with enough energy (activation energy)
- A successful collision is one that leads to a reaction
- So to increase the rate of reaction you must either:
a) Increase the frequency/energy of collisions
b) Decrease the energy needed for a collision to be successful
- Factors that effect the rate are concentration + pressure
- The more particles there are in the same space the more collisions will happen
How does surface area effect the rate of reaction?
The more particles that are available to react = the more frequently collisions will occur
How does temperature effect the rate of reaction?
Particles move faster so they collide more frequently. Particles collide with more energy so more collisions are successful.
How do catalysts effect the rate of reaction?
- Lower energy needed for successful collisions
- Not used up
- Biological catalysts = enzymes
What are reversible reactions?
Reactions that can go in both directions. If a reaction is exothermic one way it’ll be endothermic in the other.
What is a closed system?
A system where nothing can get in or out
What is equilibrium?
Equilibrium is where the rate of reaction is the same on both sides
What happens at equilibrium?
- Rate of forward reaction = rate of backward reaction
- Amount of products + reactants don’t change

What does reactivity depend on?
Reactivity depends on tendency to form a metal ion
What are other names for positive and negative ions
Cations (positive) + Anions (negative)
What does OILRIG stand for?
Oxidation
Is
Loss of electrons
Reduction

What happens to metals when you react them with:
a) Oxygen
b) Water
c) Acid
a) Metal oxide
b) Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
c) Metal salt + hydrogen
What happens to acids when you react the with:
A) metal
B) alkali
C) insoluble gas
D) carbonate
A) salt + hydrogen
B) salt + water
C) salt + water
D) salt + water + carbon dioxide
How do you prepare a dry sample of a soluble salt?
1) Choose correct acid + Add base to excess
2) Warm
3) Filter off excess
4) Evaporate of water
Which number(s) are considered acidic on the pH scale?
1-6
Which number(s) are considered neutral on the pH scale?
7
Which number(s) are considered alkaline on the pH scale?
8-14
What happens to strong acids in water
- Completely ionises in water
- Breaks down fully into ions
- Hydrogen = positive
What happens to weak acids in water?
- Only partially ionises in water
- Only some acid molecules split up
- Amount of H+ ions = less pH is higher
