Question Answer
Rate of reactions depends on what four things? Temperature, Concentration, Catalysts and Surface area of the solid
What's the formula for rate of reaction? Rate= product formed/time taken
What are the three ways that the rate of reaction can be measured? Precipitation (measuring how fast the solution goes cloudy), Change in Mass and Volume of gas given off
What is collision theory? Collision theory states that the rate of reaction simple depends on how often and and how hard the reacting particle collide with one another.
What is a catalyst? A catalyst is a substance which speeds up a reaction, without being changed or used up in the reaction.
What are the advantages of using catalysts in industrial reactions? They save money as they don't need to operate as long and they allow the reaction to work at lower temperatures, which is good for sustainable development.
What are the disadvantages of using catalysts in industrial reactions? They can be expensive to buy (but can be reused), different reactions require different catalysts and catalysts can be 'poisoned' by impurities which means they stop working.
What is an exothermic reaction? When a reaction gives off heat
Some exothermic reactions Oxidation reactions, combustion or everyday uses such as hand warmers or self heating cans
What is an endothermic reaction? An endothermic reaction is when heat is taken from the surroundings.
Some endothermic reactions Thermal Decomposition or in ice packs
Give an example of a reversible reaction which can be endothermic and exothermic
On the pH scale, is 1 acid or alkaline? Acid
Where is bleach on the pH scale? Around 12
Where is vinegar on the pH scale? Around 3
What is the formula for a standard neutralisation reaction?
How can this be expressed in terms of ions?
What is the basic equation when reacting acids and metals?
Hydrochloric Acid will always produce what kind of salts? Chloride e.g. magnesium chloride
Sulfuric Acids will always produce what kinds of salt? Sulfate e.g. Aluminium Sulfate
Nitric Acids will always make what sorts of salts? Nitrate e.g. Zinc nitrate
Acid + Bases (metal oxide or metal hydroxide) = Salt and Water
Bases are acids or alkalis? Alkalis
Sulfuric acid + zinc oxide = ? Zinc Sulfate and Water
Why might people want to neutralise Ammonia? To make fertiliser. Ammonium nitrate is an especially good fertiliser because it has nitrogen in both sources, ammonia and nitric acid.
What is electrolysis? The splitting up of a compound or solution using electricity
In electrolysis, what is the liquid called which conducts electricity? The electrolyte
Electrolysis always involve an oxidation and reduction but which losses/gains electrons? Oxidation is loss, Reduction is gain. (OIL RIG)
What is electroplating? Electroplating is the use of electrolysis to coat the surface of one metal with another metal.
