reversible reactions and rate of reaction Flashcards
how do you calculate the mean rate of a rate of reaction
change in quantity/time
how does increasing the sa/concentration and pressure increase the rate of reaction
partcles cllide more frequently
how does increasing the temperature increase the rate of reaction
parlicles collide more frequently because they have more energy which causes more successful collisions
forward and backward reactions happena
at different rates
what happens at the start of a reversible reaction
forward reaction would be fast as the are a lot of reactants and no products
what happens as the reactants turn into products in a reversible reaction
forward reaction slows down and the backward reactants slow down
what happens after a while in a reversible reactant
it evens out and reaches a state of equillibrium
what is equilibrium
both reactants and products even each other out
what does the position of the equllibrum depend on
temperature, pressure and concentration
what does an increase in pressure do to the equilibrium
side with the side with less moles
what does an increase in concentration do to the equilibrium
go the side with less concentration
what does an increase in temperature do to the equillibrium
go to the endothermic side
practical for disappearing cross
add hydrochloric acid +sodium thiosulphate
time how long it takes for the cross to disappear
increase concentration of solution and repeat the steps
