Activation Energy
|
minimum energy needed to cause a reaction to begin
|
|
Heat of Reaction
|
heat of the products --- heat of the reactants
|
|
Sign of endothermic
|
+
|
|
Sign of exothermic
|
--
|
|
What do catalysts NOT change?
|
heat of reaction and equilibrium
-they only allow equilibrium to be achieved quicker |
|
CIA
|
concentration increase away
-away from the side that has the added concentration |
|
TIA
|
temperature increase away
-away from the side that has the heat |
|
Reactions are driven towards higher/lower entropy?
|
higher(more randomness(
|
|
Reactions are driven towards higher/lower heat?
|
lower (exothermic reactions favored)
|
|
LeChatelier's Principle
|
A system at equilibrium will shift in a predictable way to try to relieve the stress applied
|
|
Three types of stress
|
-temperature
-concentration -pressure (gas) |
|
Spontaneous change
|
are changes that will occur under given conditions
|
|
Factors that affect spontaneous change
|
1.) Tendency to change to a condition of less energy
2.) Tendency to change to a condition of greater randomness |
|
Tendency for lower energy (spontaneous change)
|
-Most spontaneous reactions are exothermic
-The activation energy for an exothermic reaction is less than the reverse endothermic reaction |
|
Tendency for randomness (spontaneous change)
|
-Randomness is the disorder, or lack of regularity, in a system
-The measurement of disorder in a system is called entropy -Increased disorder means increased entropy |
|
Systems go from greater order to
|
greater disorder
|
|
What determines the rate of reaction?
|
1.) Enough energy
2.) Proper orientation |
