Ways to speed up a reaction | Volume Heat Temperature Human Help Energy |
Neutralisation reactions | base gets added to an acid and removes the h+ ions. this reaction is called a neutralisation reactions because neutral water molecules are formed. |
alkalis | Bases which are soluble in water are called Alkalis |
Concentration | This is the amount of substance in a given volume. Increasing the concentration will increase the number of particles available to react and therefore there will be more collisions and the rate of reaction will increase |
Surface Area | If surface area increases, more particles are available for collisions to occur and therefore the rate of reaction will increase. |
Collision theory | Collision theory states that in order for a chemical reaction to occur, particles must collide with sufficient energy to break the bonds of the reactant. If the energy is not great enough, the reaction will not occur. |
Temperature | If temperature of a reaction increases the rate of the reaction will increase because 1. Particles are moving faster 3. Particles have more energy therefore more of the collisions will be successful. |
Acid + base = | Salt + water |
Acid + metal= | Hydrogen + salt |
Acid + carbonate= | Water + carbon dioxide + salt |
Metal + oxygen = | Metal oxide |
Metal + water = | Metal hydroxide + Hydrogen |
Copper | Cu |
Magnesium | Mg |
Zinc | Zn |
Aluminium | Al |
Iron | Fe |
Tin | sn |
Lead | Pb |
Silver | ag |
Gold | Au |
Calcium | Ca |
Sodium | Na |
Potassium | K |
Oxygen | O |
Hydrogen | H |
Carbon | C |
Sulphur | S |
Nitrogen | N |
Universal Indicator | Used to indicate the pH of a solution-usually in a solution form |
Salt | Compound formed when a metal reacts with an acid |
Compound | A substance made up of different atoms bonded together |
pH scale | Used to indicate the pH of a substancce |
Neutalise | to make a pH of a solution equal 7 |
Hydroxide ions | the ions released when alkalis dissolve in water |
Hydrogen ions | A positively charged hydrogen atom |
Acidic solution | A soultion with an excess of H ions |
Litmus | Turns from blue to pink or red when in an acidic soultion |
Hydrogen Test | Lighted stick makes this gas explode with a pop |
Carbon dioxide test | Clear lime water turns milky when shaken in this gas |
Acid | a chemical which releases H ions into solution - has a sharp, sour taste |
Base | A chemical which removes H ions from solution (have a soapy feel.) |
Mercury | Hg - A metal that is a liquid at room temperture |
Oxygen | O - A as that is flammable |
Hydrogen | H - A gas element that makes up 20% of the atmosphere |
Silicon | Si- A non-metal element that was used to make a computer chips |
Iron | Fe- An element that nails are made of |
Caron | C - the element that diamonds are made of |
Chlorine | Cl- A non-metal element used as a disinfectant in swimming pools |
Aluminium | Al - A metal element that is very light - good for plaanes |
Copper | Cu- A metal element that is used to make electrical wires |
Gold | Au- A precious metal used for jewellery |
Uranium | U - A radioactive element -used for nuclear fuel |
Sulfur- | S- a non-metal element that produces acid rain |
The speed a reaction goes at is called | rate of reaction |
Increase the temperature- | The atoms speed up and therefore are more likely to collide with others they have more energy. |
Increase concentration- | There are more atoms so more collisions |
Increase surface area- | There are more atoms available for collisions |
