| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| rate of reaction | change in concentration per unit time |
| average rate of reaction | rate of change over a period in time |
| collision theory | particles must collide with one another in order to react and have sufficent energy for a effective collision |
| activation energy? | Minimum energy that colliding particles must have for an effective collision to occur. |
| what factors affect rate of reaction | Nature of reactants Particle size Concentration Temperature Catalysts Pressure (for all-gaseous reaction) |
| how does temperature affect ROR | increased temperature,particles have increased kinetic energy which means particles reach activation enrergy quicker |
| how does concentration affect ROR | The more particles the greater the chance of there being an effective collision per unit time. |
| what is a catalyst | a substance that alters the rate of reaction without being used up in the process |
| how do catalysts work | increase the rate of reaction by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy |
| Are ionic bonds fast or slow to break | generally fast as there is no bond breaking or forming |
| Are covalent bonds fast or slow to break | slower as bonds need to be broken before a reaction could take place |
| Adsorption | Reactants adsorbed onto the surface of the catalyst in the correct orientation and in high concentration. Temporary weak bonds form between the reactant and the catalyst There is a high concentration of reactant |
| desorption | The products leave the surface of the catalyst |
| Heterogeneous Catalysis | The reactant(s) and catalyst are in different phases |
| Intermediate formation theory of catalysis | Pink at the beginning of the reaction - colour of the catalyst (Co2+) solution. Bubbling and gas are produced as reaction mixture turns green due to formation of intermediate complex. |
| Limitations of the collision theory Orientation | Particles must collide in the correct orientation for a reaction to occur but it makes it less accurate at predicting rates of reactions involving complex molecules. |
| Limitations of the collision theory 2. Catalysts | Saturation of catalysts If the surface of the catalyst is fully occupied by the reactant molecules, increasing the concentration will have no effect on the rate of reaction |
| Limitations of the collision theory 3. Concentration | Limiting reagents: When a reaction involves multiple reactants, an increase in the concentration of one reactant may not alter the rate of reaction unless there is a sufficient amount of the other reactants also present. |
| what is a reaction profile diagram | Graph that shows the change in energy of a chemical reaction with time as the reaction progresses. |
