(35 cards)
Collision theory
A reaction will occur if the reactants reactants collide with enough energy
Activation energy
Minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction
Anything that enhances collisions will __________ the rate of reaction
Increase
Many gasses in a closed container are
Reversible
Increasing concentration __________ rate of reaction
Increases
Lowering temperature ___________ rate of reaction
Decreases
Decreasing particle size __________ rate of reaction
Increases
Catalysts __________ rate of reaction
Increase
Anything that _____ __________ will increase rate of reaction
Enhances collisions
Chemical equilibrium
Is reached when the rates of the foward and reverse reaction are equal
Lechatelier’s principal
If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system changes to relieve the stress and return to equilibrium
Stresses include a change in
Concentration
Temperature
Pressure
Increasing the pressure of an equation would shift the equilibrium towards the side with the _______ moles
Least
Increasing pressure has no effect on an
Aqueous solution
Equilibrium position of a reaction
Is given by the relative concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium
Instead of using % for equilibrium position, equilibrium contracts are used (_____)
K eq
Equilibrium constant equation
K eq = [C]^c [D]^d
___________
[A]^a [B]^b
[ ] = mol/liter or M
K eq > 1
Products are favored at equilibrium
K eq
Reactants are favored at equilibrium
Solubility product constant
K sp
Soluable
Describes ionic compounds (salts) that dissolve in water
Insoluable
Describes ionic compounds (salts) that don’t dissolve in water
The solubility product constant (K sp) quantifies
The extent to which salt dissolves
Don’t include _____ in equilibrium expression
Solids
