QuestionAnswer
Collision Theory (3 parts) Particles must 1) Collide, 2) have enough Energy, and 3) have the correct Orientation.
Activation Energy The "barrier"—the minimum energy needed for a reaction to actually happen.
Concentration & Rate Higher concentration = more particles = more collisions = Faster Rate.
Pressure & Rate (Gases) Higher pressure = particles squeezed together = more collisions = Faster Rate.
Surface Area & Rate More surface area (crushing a solid) = more exposed particles = Faster Rate.
Temperature & Rate Higher temp = particles move faster AND hit harder = Faster Rate.
What does a Catalyst do? It speeds up a reaction by lowering the Activation Energy.
Homogeneous Catalyst A catalyst that is in the same phase as the reactants (e.g., both are liquids).
Heterogeneous Catalyst A catalyst in a different phase (e.g., a solid metal catalyst with gas reactants).
Reversible Reaction A reaction that can go forwards and backwards at the same time.
Dynamic Equilibrium When the Rates of the forward and reverse reactions are Equal.
Equilibrium Concentrations At equilibrium, the amounts of reactants/products stay Constant (not necessarily equal).
Exothermic Graph The products end lower than the reactants (Energy is released negative).
Endothermic Graph The products end higher than the reactants (Energy is absorbed positive).
K equilibrium equation products over reactants
The "Big Rule" for K eq Solids (s) and Pure Liquids (l) are NEVER included in the expression.
K > 1 The Products are favored (more stuff on the right).
K < 1 The Reactants are favored (more stuff on the left).
The only thing that changes K of equilibrium Temperature. (Concentration and pressure changes do NOT change the K value).
Reaction Quotient (Q) A calculation used to see if a reaction is at equilibrium yet (compared against K).
ICE Table acronym Initial, Change, Equilibrium (used to find missing concentrations).
Le Châtelier’s Principle If you stress a system at equilibrium, it will shift to undo that stress.
"Add Away" Rule If you ADD a substance, the reaction shifts AWAY from that side to use it up.
"Take Towards" Rule If you REMOVE a substance, the reaction shifts TOWARD that side to replace it.
Pressure Increase Stress The reaction shifts toward the side with FEWER moles of gas.
Pressure Decrease Stress The reaction shifts toward the side with MORE moles of gas.
Temp Stress (Exothermic) Heat is a Product. Adding heat shifts it LEFT (away from heat).
Temp Stress (Endothermic) Heat is a Reactant. Adding heat shifts it RIGHT (away from heat).
Common Ion Effect Adding a salt that shares an ion with the solution, causing a shift that forms more precipitate (solid).
Q vs. K: Q > K Too many products! Reaction shifts LEFT (toward reactants).
Q vs. K: Q < K Not enough products! Reaction shifts RIGHT (toward products).
Q vs. K: Q = K The system is already at Equilibrium.
Catalyst & Equilibrium A catalyst makes equilibrium happen faster, but it does NOT cause a shift or change the K value.
Which factors must be equal when a reversable chemical process reaches equilibrium rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the reverse reaction
A solute is added to water and a portion of the solute remains undissolved. When equilibrium between the dissolved and undissoived solute is reached, the solution must be Saturated
Which description applies to a system in a sealed flask that is half full of water? d) Both evaporation and condensation occur.
4) Solution equilibrium always exists in a solution that is Saturated
Given the reaction at equilibrium: A(g) + B(g) <>C(g)+D(g). The addition of a catalyst will Increase the rate of the forward and reverse reactions equally.
If a catalyst is added to a system at equilibrium and the temperature and pressure remain constant, there will be no effect on the d) Heat of reaction
Consider the equation for the following reaction at equilibrium: X + Y-> 2Z + heat. The concentration of the product could by increased by Increasing the concentration of Y
In a reversible reaction, chemical equilibrium is attained when the Concentration of the products remains constant.
Closed System Equilibrium can only be reached in a Closed System (where no matter can enter or leave).
3 Types of Equilibrium 1. Phase (Ice<->Water), 2. Solution (Dissolving<->Precipitating), 3. Chemical (Reactants<->Products).
What is a "Stressor"? Any change in Temperature, Pressure, or Concentration that breaks the equilibrium balance.
Shift to the Right Means the reaction works harder to make more Products.
Shift to the Left Means the reaction works harder to make more Reactants.
Interpreting Q vs K If Q < K, the reaction shifts Right. If Q > K, the reaction shifts Left. (Think of alphabetical order: if Q comes before K, move forward/right).
Common Ion Effect (Result) Adding an ion already in the solution decreases solubility, causing more solid (precipitate) to form.
how to increase concentration of products add reactant, remove products and decrease temp if exo
how to increase concentration of reactant Add reactant, remove product, increased temperature if endothermic
in a reversible reaction Chemical equilibrium is obtained when the Concentration of the products remains constant
when you see a equation and it adds something to the equation that wasnt in the equation you need to break it aprat fide what side it goes on and answer the question
when you increase the pressure but the # of moles is the same what hapoens to the shift nothing
does increasing the concentraition of something on the reactant side also increase whatver else is on the side nope
The addition of a catalyst to a system at equilibrium will increase the rate of Both the forward and reverse reactions
A system is said to be in a state of dynamic equilibrium when the Rate at which products are formed is the same as the rate at which reactants are formed
If the pressure on gaseous reactants is increased, the rate of reaction is increased because there is an increase in the concentration
whenever a reaction is at equilibrium The forward and reverse reaction rate are equal
In a reversible reaction, chemical equilibrium is attained when the concentration of the products remains constant
when it asks which one will make the reaction occur at the greatest rate which one is it soultions of ionic compounds
The addition of a catalyst to a system at equilibrium will increase the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions
