39

titration method

use pipette to add 25cm3 of acid to conical flask,

add a few drops of indicator,

add acid to burette and record initial reading,

drop acid into flask and swirl continuously until it changes colour,

take final burette reading and find volume of acid needed by working out the difference,

repeat to get concordant results

New cards
40

why is the reaction exothermic in terms of bonds

more energy is given out when bonds are made than is when taken in when bonds are broken

New cards
41

why is soot formed

incomplete combustion due to limited oxygen supply

New cards
42

soot name

carbon

44

why is volume collected less than expected

New cards
45

why is measuring cylinder not necessary

acid is in excess so an accurate measurement isnt needed

New cards
46

dynamic equilibrium

position in a reversible reaction where the concentration of reactants and products remain constant and the forward and backward reactions continue to occur

New cards
47

pressure increase effect on equilibrium

moves to direction of fewer molecules of gas

New cards
48

concentration increase effect on equilibrium

moves away from what gained more conc

New cards
49

temperature increase effect on equilibrium

moves in endothermic direction

New cards
50

catalyst effect on yield

none as increases rate of both backwards and forwads reaction

New cards
51

catalyst effect on rate of reaction

provides alternate pathway so lower activation energy needed for reaction to begin, meaning more collisions so speeds up rate of reaction

New cards
52

yield change depending on equilibrium

if equilibrium shifts to the right the yield of products will increase
