Q

What happens to rate of reaction over time (2)

A

slows down until stops

time progresses –> concentration of reactant decreases –> decreases frequency of reaction

Q

Limitations of using a gas syringe to measure rate of reaction (3)

A

bung may not be securely fit –> gas might escape

delivery tube may not be securely fit –> gas might escape

if plunger is stiff –> gas pressure will increase

Q

Limitations of using displacement of water to measure rate of reaction (3)

A

bung may not be securely fit –> gases might escape

delivery tube may not be securely fit –> gas might escape

if gas is soluble in water not all gas is collected

16
Q

Dangers of reduced particle size causing increased reaction rate in industry

A

coal dust - rate of combustion fast as they have large surface area (explosion)

17
Q

How catalysts increase rate of a reaction

A

lower activation energy needed for reaction

18
Q

Example of catalyst to speed up a reaction (2)

A

adding manganese (IV) oxide to hydrogen peroxide increases speed of it decomposing

2H2O2 (aq) –> 2H2O + O2 (g)

19
Q

Ion-electron equation for reduction of element

A

element + (valency)e^- –> ion

20
Q

Ion-electron equation for oxidation of element

A

element –> Ion + (valency)e^-

21
Q

Define redox reactions

A

when oxidation and reduction reactions happen at the same time

22
Q

Calculating overall redox reactions (4)

A

combine individual oxidation + reduction reaction

electrons must be equal to cancel out

reactants of redox reaction is left side of oxidation and reduction reaction

products of redox reaction is right side of oxidation and reduction reaction

23
Q

Define oxidation in terms of oxygen

A

element gaining oxygen in a reaction

24
Q

Define reduction in terms of oxygen

A

element losing oxygen in reaction

25
Q

Define an oxidising agent (2)

A

substance which accepts electrons

is reduced (gains electrons)

26
Q

Define a reducing agent (2)

A

substance which donates electrons

is oxidised (loses electrons)

27
Q

Where are good/strong reducing agents found in the reactivity series

A

top of reactivity series since they easily lose electrons

28
Q

Where are good/strong oxidising agents found in reactivity series

A

bottom of reactivity series since they easily gain electrons

29
Q

Name common oxidising agents (permanganate) (3)

A

acidified potassium permanganate

MnO4^- –> Mn^2

changes from purple to colourless

30
Q

Name common oxidising agents (dichromate) (3)

A

acidified potassium dichromate

Cr2 O7^2- –> Cr^3+

used in breathalysers - determine alcohol content in breath by colour change from orange to green

31
Q

Name common reducing agents (2)

A

Sulfur dioxide

Carbon monoxide - extraction of iron in blast furnace

32
Q

Define oxidation state (2)

A

represents how many electrons an atom loses or gains to become an ion

written as math sign (+) then number
