- Rate of reaction
- Slowest reaction is rusting
- Moderate speed reaction is metal reacting with acid
- A really fast reaction is an explosion
- Rate of reaction
depends on 4
things
- Temperature
- Concerntration
- or pressure for gases
- Catalyst
- Surface area of solids
- Measuring Rates of reaction
- R o R = Amount of reactant used or amount of product formed / Time
- It is measured in three ways :
- 1) Precipitation
- When the product of the reaction is a
precipitate which clouds the solution
- Observe a mark through the solution and
time until it disappears
- 2) Change in mass (usually gas given off)
- As the gas is released the mass disappearing
is easily measured on the balance
- The quicker the reading drops,
the faster the reaction
- 3) The volume of gas given off (uses syringe)
- The more gas given off during a given
time interval, the faster the reaction
- Rates of reaction experiments
- 1) Reaction of hydrochloric Acid and Marble Chips
- The smaller the bits of marble
the faster the reaction
- Measure the volume of gas evolved
with a gas syringe and take readings
at regular intervals
- This experiment is often used to show the
effect of breaking the solid up into small bits
- 2)Reaction of magnesium metal with dilute HCl
- This reaction is good for showing the
effects of increased concerntration
- This reaction gives off hydrogen gas, which we
can measure with a mass balance, as shown
- The higher the concentration the quicker the reaction
- More rates of reaction experiments
- 3)Sodium Thiosulfate and HCl
Produce a cloudy precipitate
- The higher the temp the quicker the reaction
- View the mark until it disappears, through the solution, and time it.
- 4)The decomposition of hydrogen Peroxide
- This is a good reaction for showing different catalysts
- Oxygen gas is given off, which provides an ideal way
to measure the rate of reaction using the good old gas
syringe method
- This is usually slow but if you add the catalyst, manganese(IV)
oxide, it speeds it up to no end. Other catalyst that work are
found in potato peel and blood
- Collision Theory
- he Collision Theory: The rate of reaction simply
depends on how often and how hard the reacting
particles collide with each other. The basic idea is
that particles have to collide in order to react.
- Higher temperature
increases collisions
- More energy = more
vibrations = more
collisions
- Higher concentration (or
pressure) increases
collisions
- more particles = more collisions
- Larger
surface
area
increases
collisions
- more area to
work on so more
collisions
- Collision Theory and catalysts
- A solid catalyst works by giving the reacting particles a
surface to stick to. This increases the number of
successful collisions, speeding the reaction up.
- Industrial reactions
- Cheaper because
less time is
needed as there is
a faster reaction
- Cheaper because
lower temps are
needed so less
energy will be
needed.
- Expensive to buy
- However never get used up so
they use them over and over again
- different catalysts are
needed for different
reactions
- Catalysts can be poisoned
by impurities.
- Energy and transfer in reactions
- Exothermic
- An exothermic
reaction is one
which transfers
energy to the
surroundings,
usually in the form
of heat and
usually shown by
a rise in
tempreture
- Endothermic
- An endothermic
reaction is one
which takes in
energy from the
surroundings,
usually in the form
of heat and is
usually shown by a
fall in temperature
- Reversible reactions
can be endothermic
and exothermic
- Acids and Alkalis
- A Ph scale goes from 0 to 14
- Acids and Bases
- An ACID is a substance with a pH
of less than 7. Acids form H+ ions
in water.
- A BASE is a substance
with a pH of greater than 7.
- An ALKALI is a base that dissolves in
water. Alkalis form OH- ions in water.
- Overall H+ ions make
solutions acidic and
OH- ions make them
alkalis
- Acids reacting with metals
- Metals react with acids to give salts
- Acid + Metal ==> Salt + Hydrogen
- You can use the squeaky pop experiment
- Hydrochloric acid
will always produce
chloride salts
- Sulfuric acid will always produce sulfate salts
- Nitric acid produces nitrate slats,
however they can also produce
nitrogen oxides.
- Oxides, Hydroxides and ammonia
- Metal Oxides and Metal
Hydroxides are bases
- Acid + Metal Oxide ===> Salt + Water
- Acid + Metal Hydroxide ===> Salt + Water
- The Combination of metal
and acids decides the salt
- e.g. sulfuric acid + zinc oxide ===>
zinc sulfate + water
- Ammonia can be nuetralised with HNO3, to make fertiliser
- When reacted with nitric acid, you get a neutral salt.
- Making salts
- You need to react soluble
salts using a metal or an
insoluble base
- Making soluble sallts using an alkali
- Because you cant tell
whether the reaction has
finished you must...
- Add exactly the right amount
of alkali to just neutralise the
solution
- Making Insoluble salts - precipitation reactions
- If the salt you want to make is
insoluble then you can use a
precipitation reaction
- You need to pick two solutions that
contain the ions you need
- Mix them together
- When the salt has precipitated out, filter it
out and then dry it, and wash it, then dry
it
- Precipitation reactions can
be used to remove poisonous
ions in drinking water.
- Electrolysis
- Electrolysis means
"Splitting up with
electricity"
- If you pass a electronic current
through a ionic substance
(aqueous or molten)
- The ions
attract to the
opposite pole
anode or
cathode
- Electrolysis
Reactions involve
Oxidation and
reduction
- Reduction is a
loss of oxygen
and the gain of
electrons
- Oxidation is the
gain of oxygen
and the loss of
electrons
- Electrolysis of Sodium
Chloride Solution
- Reactivity affects the products
formed by electrolysis
- Sometimes there are
more than two free ions
in the electrolyte
- At the negative electrode, if metal ions and H+ ions are present,
the metal ions will stay in solution if the metal is more reactive
then hydrogen. This is because the more reactive an element,
the keener it is to stay as ions. So, hydrogen will be produced
unless the metal is less reactive then it
- At the positive electrode, if OH- and halide ions (Cl-,Br-,I-) are
present then molecules of chlorine, bromine or iodine will be
formed. If no halide is present, then oxygen will be formed
- The electrolysis of Sodium
Chloride Solution
- When common salt (sodium
chloride) is dissolved in water
and electrolysed, it produces
three useful products:
hydrogen, chlorine and sodium
hydroxide
- 1) At the negative electrode, two hydrogen ions accept
two electrons to become one hydrogen molecule.
- 2) At the positive electrode, two chloride (Cl-) ions lose
their electrons and become one chlorine molecule.
- 3) The sodium ions stay in solution because they're more reactive than hydrogen. Hydroxide ions
from water are also left behind. This means that sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is left in the solution
- The half equations - make sure
the electrons belence
- Half equations show
the reactions at the
electrodes.
- You need to make sure the number of
electrons is the same.
- The half equation for the electrolysis of sodium chloride is:
- Negative Electrode: 2H+ + 2e- ==> H2
- Positive Electrode: 2Cl- ==> Cl2 + 2e-
- Extraction of aluminium
and electroplating
- Electrolysis is
used to
remove
aluminium
from it's ore
- This is
because it
is always
found in
compounds
- Cryolite is used to
lower the
temperature (and
costs)
- Lower temperatures = cheaper
- Aluminium forms on the negative
electrode and oxygen forms on the
positive electrode.
