ror measured
how fast a product is made
how fast a reactant is used up
3 solutions
mass loss, gas collection and precipitation
mass loss
measuring the mass loss in the reactants over time
gas collection
measuring the amount of gas formed over time
precipitation
measure the formation of a precipitate over time
2 equations for calculating the rate
rate=amount of reactant used/time taken
or
rate=amount of product made/time taken
measurement for rate
either g/s or cm3 /s or dm3 /s or mol/s
mass loss method
the mass is measure every few seconds and the change in mass over time is recorded as the gas escapes
the reaction is typically performed in a conical flask placed on top of a balance to measure the loss in mass
however one limitation is that the gas must be sufficiently dense or the change in mass is too small to measure
gas collection method
the volume of gas produced ovee time is recorded
one gas collection setup involves collecting a gas through water using an inverted measuring cylinder
although, the gas can be captured in a gas syringe which measures its volume
precipitation method
participation reaction forms a solid precipitate when 2 clear solutions are mixed together
the precipitate clouds the reaction mix so if the flask is placed over a piece of paper with a cross on it, the time it takes for the cross to disappear from view is measured
this method can be subjective
equation moles per unit time
mole per unit time= mass per unit time/molar mass of the substance
initial rate graph for product
an initial rate graph for the formation of a product shows a straight line with a positive correlation starting from the origin
initial rate graph for reactant
an initial rate graph for a reactant shows a straight line with a negative correlation starting from the y axis
calculation for the mean rate of reaction
taking the difference between 2 points on the curve
factors affect the ror
the concentration of the reactants in solution or the pressure of reacting gases
the temp of the reaction
surface area of solid reactants
the presence of a catalyst
RP objective
to investigate the effect of changing conc on the rate of reaction by measuring the formation of the precipitate
RP hypothesis
a precipitate will be formed quicker of the reactants is greater
RP method
measure 50cm3 of NA2S2O3 solution into a flask
measure 5cm2 of dilute HCL into a measuring cylinder
draw a dark cross on a piece of paper and put it underneath the flask
add the acid into the flask and immediately start stop watch
solid sulfur is formed which precipitates in solution, turning cloudy
look down at cross and stop the timing when the cross can no longer be seen
repeat using different concentrations of sodium thiosulfate solution
what is the collision theory
states that chemical reactions occur only when the reactant particles collide with sufficient energy to react
activation energy
the minimum amount of energy needed in a reaction
a successful collision
means that the reactant particles colliding have sufficient energy
the reactant particles rearrange to form the products
unsuccessful collision
the reactant particles have insufficient energy
the reactant particles just bounce off each other and remain unchanged
rate of reaction affects dependent on the no. successful collisions
the number of particles per unit volume
the frequency of collisions
kinetic energy of the particles
the activation energy
increasing concentration
a higher conc in particles means that there are more particles present in the same volume so the number of collisions between particles increases causing an increased rate of reaction
the effect of increasing pressure
the higher pressure means that there are the same amount of particles present in a smaller volume so the number of collisions and successful collisions between particles increases causing an increased rate of reaction
the effect of increasing the temp
an increase in temp causes an increase in kinetic energy of the particles - the number of successful collisions increases.
the effect the surface area effects the rate
an increase in surface area means more collisions per second
catalyst
sre substances which speed up the rate of reaction without being altered or consumed
how do catalysts work
they provide an alternate pathway for the reaction to occur, the pathway requires lower activation energy
whats a biological catalyst
enzyme
