Rates of Reaction and Energy Changes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe an experiment to measure how surface area affects rate (HCl and marble chips) | Place HCl with marble chips in flask with a gas syringe connected, measure volume of gas produced using a gas syringe and in regular time intervals, repeat exactly the same but with chips more crushed up, then repeat with same mass of powdered chalk |
| How can you measure rate of reaction when precipitate is formed? | Put black cross below beaker containing one reactant, time how long it takes for cross to disappear after second reactant is added |
| How do we determine the rate of a reaction by change in mass? | Use mass balance, as gas is released lost mass is measured on the balance |
| How do we determine the rate of a reaction by volume of gas given off? | Use gas syringe, more gas given off at set time interval means faster reaction |
| What is needed for reactions to occur? | Particle collision |
| How are rates of reaction increased? | When freq and/or energy of these collisions are increased |
