Question 23• Which line shows the higher concentration of

acid?

•



Question 24• Which line shows the higher mass of

Magnesium used in a reaction with hydrochloric acid?

.... of 50


•



Question 25

• Which line shows the highest temperature?

.... of 50


•



Question 26

• What needs to happen in order for a reaction to take place?

.... of 50


• Reactant particles need to collide with sufficient energy for a reaction to take place



Question 27

• What is the name given to the minimum energy needed for a reaction to take place?

.... of 50


• Activation energy



Question 28

• Which has the highest rate of reaction, a high or a low concentration of reactant? Use the

collision theory to explain your answer.

.... of 50


• Higher concentration has a higher rate of reaction

• Higher concentration has more particles in the same volume

• Therefore the particles are more crowded

• Therefore more successful collisions per second (or a higher collision frequency)



Question 29

• Which has the highest rate of reaction, a high or a low temperature? Use the collision theory

to explain your answer.

.... of 50


• Higher temperature reactions have a higher rate of reaction

• Higher temperature means the reacting particles have more kinetic energy

• Therefore more particles reacting with the minimum activation energy




Question 30

• Which has the highest rate of reaction, a high or a low pressure of gaseous reactant? Use the collision theory to explain your answer.

.... of 50


• Higher pressure has a higher rate of reaction

• Higher pressure has more particles in the same volume

• Therefore the particles are more crowded




Question 31

• What is a catalyst?

.... of 50


• A substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not used up in the reaction.



Question 32

• Catalysts are specific, what does this mean?

.... of 50


• Each catalyst only works for one single reaction. A certain catalyst will not speed up all types of reactions.



Question 33

• How does a catalyst work?

.... of 50


• It lowers the activation energy so more of the collisions that take place are successful.



Question 35• On this energy profile diagram, which

pathway shows a catalyst?

.... of 50


•



Question 36

• What is the symbol used for a reversible reaction?

.... of 50


•



Question 37

• What is a reversible reaction?

By changing conditions such as

• Temperature

• Concentrations of reactants and products

Question 39

• What happens when the forward and the backwards reactions are happening at the

same rate?

.... of 50


• The reaction is at equilibrium



Question 40

• How is a closed system achieved?

.... of 50


• The apparatus prevents products and reactants from escaping



Question 41

• What is the same when a reaction is in equilibrium?

.... of 50


• The rates of the forwards and backwards reactions. The concentrations of the reactants and products do not have to be equal.



Question 42

• What is Le Chatelier’s principle?

.... of 50 H


• If a system is at equilibrium and a change is made to any of the conditions, then the system responds to counteract the change.



Question 43

2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)

Using Le Chatelier’s principle, what will happen if the concentration of O2 is decreased?

.... of 50 H


• The amount of product (SO3) will decrease in order to produce more O2 and restore the equilibrium.



Question 44

2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)

Using Le Chatelier’s principle, what can you remove to produce more product?

.... of 50 H


• SO3



Question 45

• Why is the Contact process important in industry?

.... of 50 H


• Sulfur trioxide is used to make sulfuric acid which makes fertilisers, paints and plastics.



Question 46

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

The forward reaction is exothermic

How could you change the temperature to increase the yield of the reaction?

.... of 50 H


• Decreasing the temperature will increase the forward reaction producing more product.



Question 47

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

The forward reaction is exothermic

Why is a temperature of 450oC used?

.... of 50 H




• Compromise – low temperature is needed to favour exothermic reaction, but a higher

temperature is needed to speed up the rate of reaction

Question 48

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

How many moles on the product side?

How many moles on the reactant side?

.... of 50 H


Reactants – 4

Products - 2



Question 49

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

How should the pressure be changed to increase the yield?

.... of 50 H


• Increase the pressure to favour the product side (which has less moles) and therefore shift the equilibrium to the right.



Question 50

2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)

What affect you increasing the pressure have on the Contact process?

.... of 50 H


• Therefore are fewer number of moles on the products side, therefore increasing the pressure would favour the forward reaction therefore increasing the yield of product
