Q

What do you have to do to acquire a repeatable titre?

A

Swirl the flask during a titration to mix its contents.
(First titration gives rough idea of the titre)
In later reruns of the titration, quickly add acid to within a few cm^3 of the rough titre and the add the acid drop by drop.

20
Q

What is the molar volume?

A

One mole of any substance in the gas state occupies the same volume at the same temperature and pressure.

21
Q

What is the molar volume for 1 mole of gas at RTP (room temperature and pressure)

A

24dm^3/mol

22
Q

What is the rate of reaction?

A

It is a measure of how quickly reactants are used or products are formed

23
Q

What are the formulae for the rate of reaction?

A

Amount of reactant used / amount of products formed
——————————————————————————
Time taken

24
Q

What apparatus would you use to measure the volume of a gas?

A

A gas syringe

25
Q

How does a gas syringe work?

A

As the syringe fills, the plunger moves outwards and you can record the volume of gas it contains.

26
Q

What is the instantaneous rate of reaction?

A

The rate of reaction at a particular time

27
Q

What are the conditions for a reaction to occur?

A

The reactant particles collide with each other
The colliding particles have enough energy to react

28
Q

What is a successful collision?

A

When reactant particles collide with each other and the particles have energy equal to or higher than the activation energy, making a successful reaction.

29
Q

Why do reactions go faster at higher temperature?

A

The particles move more quickly and collide more often
A greater proportion of the colliding particles have the activation energy or more

30
Q

How is reaction time related to the rate of reaction?

A

The rate of reaction is inversely proportional to the reaction time

31
Q

Why do reactions fo faster at higher concentrations?

A

The particles become more crowded so they collide more often

32
Q

How is the product of a reaction related to the limiting reactant?

A

The amount of product is proportional to the liming reactant

33
Q

What is a catalyst?

A

A substance that increases the rate of reaction without being used up in a reaction. Certain catalysts are used in certain reactions

34
Q

What is a biological catalyst (enzymes)?

A

Enzymes are proteins that act in biological systems. Different enzymes catalyse different reactions.

35
Q

How do catalysts work?

A

They lower the activation energy
A greater proportion of the colliding particles have the activation energy or more
The rate of successful collisions increases

36
Q

Why do reactions go faster with powders?

A

More particles are available for collisions
Collisions are more likely so particles collide often

This is due to the higher surface area to volume ratio

37
Q

What is a reversible reaction?

A

A reaction in which the products can react together to form the original reactants

38
Q

What is dynamic equilibrium?

A

When the rates of forward reaction and the backward reaction become equal (only happens in a close system)

39
Q

What happens during equilibrium position?

A

The concentrations of all the reacting substances remain constant

40
Q

How does concentration affect equilibrium position?

A

If the concentration of a substance is increased, the equilibrium position moves in the direction away from that substance

41
Q

What happens to the equilibrium position when you change the pressure in a reversible reaction?

A

The equilibrium position would move in the direction of the fewest moles of gas

42
Q

What happens to the equilibrium position when you increase the temperature?

A

When you increase the temperature, the equilibrium position moves towards the direction of endothermic change

43
Q

What is Le Châtelier’s principle?

A

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

44
Q

What does negative delta (triangle) H mean in a reaction?

A

The reaction is exothermic

45
Q

What does a positive delta (triangle) H means in a reaction?

A

The reaction is endothermic

46
Q

What are compromise conditions?

A

When you need a high conditions for a higher yield but you can’t kill the enzymes/it can’t be too expensive/ it can’t be too hazardous
