physical vs chemical change
- physical is like shape change. chemical ga the chemical properties change (burning)
effect of conc (l) + pressure (g) on r.o.r
increase = more particles per unit volume = more frequent collisions = more successful
effect of surface area (s) on r.o.r
increase = more particles available to react = more frequent collisions = more successful
effect of temp on r.o.r
increase = more k.e = more with energy > activation energy = more frequent collisions
effect of catalyst on r.o.r
increase = lowers activation energy = more with energy > a.e = more collision
catalyst
increases r.o.r + is unchanged at end (pathway graph ga a.e is lower)
investigating r.o.r
- mass change
- gas forming (gas syringe)
r.o.r graph
steeper at first + horizontal sooner + same product
example of reversible
- heat hydrated
- add water to anhydrous
(CoCl2·6H2O) (CuSO₄·5H₂O)
equilibrium when
- rate of forward reaction = backward
- conc. of reactants + products no longer changing
effect of temp on equilibrium
- i.t.e.n
- d.t.e.x
effect of pressure on equilibrium
increase favours side with less gas moles
effect of conc. on equilibrium
increase favours reaction which reduces
effect of catalyst on equilibrium
no effect
haber materials
- hydrogen from methane
- nitrogen from air
N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3
haber conditions
iron catalyst + 20 000 kPa/200 atm + 450°C
contact materials
- SO2 from burning sulfur/roasting sulfide
ores - oxygen from air
2SO2 + O2 ⇌ 2SO3
SO2 ⇌ SO3 conditions
vanadium (V) oxide catalyst + 200 kPa/2 atm + 450°C
why haber conditions
- high pressure is dangerous + costly engineering
- low temp is slow rate
- so high temp + catalyst
- more economic to get low yield fast rate
redox
reactions involving simultaneous oxidation and reduction (gain + loss of e-)
oxidation
gain of O2 / loss of e- / increase oxi. no.
reduction
loss of O2 / gain of e- / decrease oxi. no.
sum of oxis
0
acidified potassium manganate (VII)
oxidising agent + test for reducing agent
- purple to colourless
