Q

How do you read a volume time line graph?

A

At the beginning a steep gradient because more reactant particles means more successful collisions.
A flat line towards the end means that the reaction has stopped.
The gradient measures the rate of reaction

Q

How does temperature affect the rate of reaction?

A

🟡increases rate of reaction as particles hold move more quickly and so would collide more frequently.
🟡 these colliding particles would also have the activation energy or more
🟡therefore leading to successful collisions

Q

Describe the disappearing cross experiment

A

Draw a black cross on a piece of paper and place beneath a transparent beaker. Place the reactants in the beaker and start timing , stop it when the black cross is no longer visible. Calculate the rate by doing
1➗time

22
Q

How does increased concentration affect the rate of reaction?

A

Concentration =how much solute is dissolved in the solvent

🟣 more crowded particles
🟣 more collisions per second
🟣due to rate of collisions increasing , the rate of successful collisions increases

23
Q

How does increasing pressure affect the rate of reaction?

A

🟣more particles per unit of volume (in the gas state the particles become more crowded )
🟣more collisions per second
🟣as rate of collisions increases the rate of successful collisions increases

24
Q

HOw does the size of the reactants affect the rate of reaction.

A

🟣smaller the pieces, the larger the surface area
🟣more particles are exposed (more reactant particles are available for collisions)
🟣higher frequency of collisions.
🟣due to increased frequency of collisions, there is an increased frequency of successful collisions

25
Q

How would you use the mass balance experiment to measure the rate of reaction?

A

NOT WHEN USING HYDROGEN AS TOO LIGHT
Place conical a flask with a cotton wool to avoid spitting on a mass nance and record the mass at regular intervals.

26
Q

What is the effect of a catalyst on the rate of reaction?

A

It increases the rate of reaction without using up any of it’s own energy

27
Q

How do catalysts affect the activation energy?

A

They provide an alternative reaction pathway , with a lower activation energy. So the particles have enough energy for their collisions to be successful.
A greater proportion of the colliding particles then have the activation energy or more.

28
Q

What is dynamic equilibrium?

A

A reversible reaction in a closed system, when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
The concentration of the reactants an products must be stable.

29
Q

What is a reversible reaction?

A

A reaction where the products of the reaction can react to produce the original reactants.

30
Q

What does a ‘shift in the position of equilibrium’ mean?

A

The side to where it shifts has a larger percentage yield (more is made).
Eg: a shift to the left makes more reactants
A shift to the right makes more products

31
Q

How does pressure change the position of Equilibrium?

A

Increasing the pressure will cause a shift to the side with less GAS mols. Because a higher pressure means less area.

32
Q

How does temperature shift the position the equilibrium ?

A

Then through Le chatilers principal, the system will try to counteract this change as it wants to go back to before.

If there is an increase in temperature.
The system will want to get rid of this extra heat and so will perform an endothermic reaction, as it absorbs heat from the surroundings.

33
Q

How does concentration shift the position of equilibrium?

A

Then through Le chatilers principal, the system will try to counteract this change as it wants to go back to
If the concentration of a substance has been increased then the position of equilibrium will be moved to the opposite side away from it.

34
Q

What effect do catalyst have on the position of equilibrium ?

A

They don’t have any effect. They only increase the rate and make it a more efficient process

35
Q

Why might a manufacturer compromise on temperature?

A

Cannot make to low because of activation energy and rate of reaction.
Cannot make too high because it’s expensive

36
Q

Why might a manufacturer compromise on pressure ?

A

High pressure requires tough reaction vessels which can be quiet expensive
Low pressure is cheaper to generate

37
Q

What are concordat titres?

A

Titres that are within 0.1of each other

38
Q

When do gases occupy the same volume?

A

When they are all at room temperature and pressure

39
Q

How do you handle gas calculations?

A

Volume = 24 (concentration) ✖️mols

40
Q

Why do to measure the bottom of a minniscous ?

A

To avoid a parallax error

41
Q

Why are indicators such as phenolphthalein used?

A

There is a sudden colour change as opposed to a gradual change

42
Q

Why should industrial process have the highest atom economy possible?

A

To the reduce the production of unwanted products.
To make the process more sustainable

43
Q

What does it mean for the particles to have successful collisions?

A

The particles have the activation energy

44
Q

What is the cotton wool used for in the mass scale rate of reaction experiment?

A

The cotton wool prevents spitting. BUT allows the gases to escape from the flask , no worry

45
Q

How could titrations be improved

A

🔵swirling flask, ensures mixing
🔵use a white tile underneath to see end point clearly
🔵 add drop-wise, to see colour change in one drop

46
Q

How do data loggers and ph probes affect titrations?

A

They are more accurate as you can predict the endpoint more accurately

47
Q

What is the very first titration results accounted for?

A

They are seen as a rough test, more of an anomaly and are not used in the results data

48
Q

How does surface area affect rate of reaction?

A

The higher the SA the higher the rate of reaction

49
Q

What is the reading on this burette?

A

0.65 cm3

50
Q

Calculate concentration

A
51
Q

Define Le chatilers principle

A

“When a change is made to the reaction at equilibrium, the position of equilibrium moves to oppose the change”

52
Q

What is another way of calculating the rate of reaction from just time

A

1/ time is directly proportional to the rate
