Additional info Flashcards
Catalyst
A substance that increases the rate of the reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction and is unchanged at the end of the reaction
Decreasing particle size =
Increasing surface area
what does this symbol mean ⇌
Reversible reaction
Oxidation meaning
Gain Oxygen
Lose Hydrogen
Lose electrons
Increase in oxidation state
Reduction meaning
Lose Oxygen
Gain Hydrogen
Gain electrons
Decrease in oxidation state
Increase in oxidation state
meaning
Lose electrons
Decrease in oxidation state meaning
Gain electrons
Oxidation state meaning
the number of electrons lost or gained by an atom to form a compound
Halogen AS NOT AQUEOUS:
colour
state at room temeprature
- Chlorine
Pale yellow-green
Gas - Bromine
Red - Brown
Liquid - Iodine
Grey-black
Solid - Astatine
Black
Solid
Halogen colours as AQEUOUS IN SOLUTION (after displacement reaction)
Bromine = Orange-brown solution
Iodine = Dark-brown solution
Cation colours
Iron 2+= Green solution
Chromium 3+= grey-green solution
Copper 2+ = Blue solution
Iron 3+ = yellow solution
Copper Oxide = Black solid
Copper Metal = pink brown solid
How to do a flame test:
Place salt on wooden split, into bunsen burner flame
What happens to rate of reaction as time increases
Decreases (as molecules get used up)
Then reaction stops (all molecules used up)
The term used for the transfer of thermal energy during a reaction
Enthalpy change
Activation energy meaning
The minimum amount of energy that colliding particles must have to react
