Collision Theory
|
Atoms, ions, and molecules can react to form products when they collide with one another, provided that the colliding particles have enough kinetic energy and the correct orientation
|
|
Particles must __________ hard enough and at the ___________
|
hit; right place
|
|
When this happens, bonds break in the __________ and they form in the __________
|
reactants; products
|
|
Reaction Rate
|
how fast a reaction goes
|
|
Reaction Rate is measured in...
|
concentration/time (change in # of moles in an interval of time)
|
|
Reaction Rate depends on...
|
Temperature, Concentration, Particle Size, and Activation Energy
|
|
Temperature does what to reactions?
|
High temperature speeds up reactions, in most cases, Low temperature slows them down
|
|
Why, when the temperature is high the reaction rate decreases?
|
The particles are colliding more often in different places
|
|
Concentration does what to reactions?
|
The more concentrated, the faster the reaction will occur
|
|
Particle Size?
|
The larger the size, the slower the reaction
|
|
Activation Energy
|
Minimum energy that colliding particles must have in order to react and get to the activated complex.
|
|
Activated Complex
|
Point of the impact of the molecules, maximum energy
|
|
Catalyst
|
A material that speeds up a reaction without being consumed
|
|
Equilibrium
|
The exact balancing of 2 processes one of which is the opposite of the other
|
|
Reversible Reaction
|
One in which the conversions of products to reactants and reactants to products occur simultaneously
|
|
At chemical equilibrium, there is no change in...
|
the actual amounts of the components of the system
|
|
In Equilibrium, both ________ and ________ actions are occurring at all times
|
forward; reverse
|
|
Equilibrium Position
|
Relative concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium
|
|
Equilibrium Expression
|
[Products]/[Reactants]
(Keq) |
|
Write the equilibrium expression:
H2 (g) + F2 (g) <-> 2HF (g) |
[HF]^2 / [H2] [F2]
|
|
This only works for ________ and ________, not _________ and ____________
|
gasses; solutions; solids; liquids
|
|
Solubility Equilibrium
|
Something dissolving in equilibrium (Ksp)
|
|
Le Chatlier's Principle
|
When a system is at equilibrium, imposing a change on the system will shift the position of the equilibrium to reduce the effect of the change
|
|
Increasing the concentration on one side will...
|
shift the equilibrium to the other side
|
|
Increasing the pressure will...
|
shift the equilibrium to the side with fewer moles of gas
|
|
Increasing the temperature will...
|
shift the equilibrium away from the energy term in the reaction
|
|
What does it mean to say that a state of chemical or physical equilibrium is dynamic?
|
It means that both the forward and reverse reactions occur but since their rates are the same, no net change in concentration occurs.
