ConcentrationThe amound of a substance that is present in a given space (usually stated in grams per 100 milliliters)
TemperatureA measure of the motion of matter particles
CatalystA substance that is able to speed up a reaction without itself being changed
EnzymeA catalyst found in living matter
Surface areaRefers to how many particles of a solid are exposed and therefore available to react
ExothermicreactionA reaction that releases more heat energy then it absorbs
Endothermic reactionA chemical reaction that absorbs more heat energy than it releases
KineticsThe study of reaction rates
Collision theoryMolecules cannot react unless they collide with sufficient energy
ConcentrationThe amount of substance that is present in a given space (usually stated in grams per milliliters)
Neutrally ChargedHaving equal numbers of electrons & protons
Negatively chargedHaving more electrons than protons
Positively ChargedHaving more protons then electrons
Static electricityElectricity at rest (not flowing)
ElectroscopeAn instrument used to detect electric charges
ConducterA material that permits electric charges or heat to move easily through it
InsulatorA material that does not permist electric charges or heat to move easily
Charge by frictionCharged by rubbing two objects together which causes a transfer of electrons from one object to another
Charged by inductionCharged by rearrangement of electrons when an object is close to (but not contacting) a charged object
Charged by conductionCharged by the flow of electrons onto or away from an object when in contact iwth a charged object
Electric forcesPushing and pulling forces that hold theparts of an atom together
Electric fieldThe region around a charge in which electric forces exist
Van de Graaf generatorDevice that collectsd static electricity
Collision TheoryMolecules cannot react unless they collide with sufficient energy
What effects reaction rate?Concentration Temperature, Catalyst, Surface Area
The Effect of Concentration?The greatest number of reactant particles are present in a certain volume, the greater is the chance of collisions
The Effect of TemperatureThe greater the temperature, the faster the reactant particle will move, and therefor the more likely they are to collide
TemperatureA measure of the motion of particals
Effect of Catalysts?It acts like a puzzle piece that holds reactant particles together so they can react so only certain ractant particles will fit!
Properties of CatalystsOnly a small amount needed, never used up, always the same at the end as at the beginning, specific for 1 or 2 reaction, enzyms are from livein gor once living things, there can be more than one for the same reaction
The Effect of Surface Area?Increasing the number of exposed reactant particles incereases the chance of collisions
Reactant Rate MeasurementMeasure time for the product to first appear, amount of product formed in a certain period of time, the time it takes for one or both of the reactants to be used up
Measure time for the product to first appear?KI + K2S2O8-->Blue--Black Product (Iondine Clock Reaction)
Starch (white in color)Indicator for the iodine clock reaction. It turns blue-black when the product (iondine) first appears
Measure the Amount of Product Formed in a Certain Period of TimeShell+ HCl--> CO2GAS
The measure time for one or both of the reactants to be used up?H2C2O4 + KMnO4--> Golden Product (when purple KMn)4 is used up te golden product can be seen.)
KI+ K2S2O8-->Potassium Iodine + Potassium Persulfate -->example for this reaction is called the "iodine clock"
H2C2O4 + KMnO4-->Oxalic Acid+ Potassuim Permanganate
Molecules move around, collide, and sometimes_______.React
Is the setting of concrete an example of fast or slow reaction rate?Slow
List four ways to speed up the rate of a reaction.1) Increase temp 2) Concentration 3) Surface Area 4) C atalyst
A catalys must be the same at teh end of the reaction as it was at the ________.Beginning
Define CatalystA substance that can speed up a reaction without itself bing changed.
What kind of energy do molecules possess?Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy of molecules and atoms can be used to....A)_____B)____A) Break old bonds B) Create new bonds
What is activation energy?The enegy needed for a raction to take place.
What is collision theory?In order for particles to react, reactant particles much collide with sufficient energy
What is activation energy?The energy needed for a reaction to take place
The energy hill needed for a reactio can be lowered to speed up a reaction by using a _____________.Catalyst
Raising an energy hill will slow down a reaction. Give an example.Food spoiling-->lower temp. to keep from spoiling
Increases the concentration of one or both of the reactantsThe more reactant particles that are present in a given volume, the more likely it is for them to collide.
Increasing the temperature of the reactants...Increasing the temperature increaes the speed of reactant particles and this increases the chance of collisions.
Surface AreaMore particles from the interior are exposed and available to react. This does not increase the total volume.
Define a catalyst.A substance that is able to speed up a reaction without itself being changed.
Name three specific applications (uses) for catalystsA) Making plastics, film, and asperin B) Purifying petroleum Products C) Make Vegetable from soil beans D) Making fertilizer
Certain catalysts are very expensive. How then, can it be economically possible to use them?Catalysts are not used up because they are never used up
Describe, on a particle level, how a catalst night bring two reactant particles together.It provides a surface on which reactant particles can collide and react. On this surface, the catalyst lowers the activation energy requirement.
Some catalysys are called "molecular sievces." What does this mean?These catalyssys cause reacton on the inside where only a certain size molecule can enter by way of a hole or pore.
What is an enzyme?Catalysts that carry out reactions that are necessary for life in living things
Explain, on a particle level, how enzymes workThey act like a puzzle piece in which old bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
What do enzymes do in a living cellMake reaction go in a constant and faster manner
Reaction rate is defined as_____The speed at which a reaction proceeds
The four things that affect reac tion rate are____A. Concentration B. Temp. C. Catalyst D. Surface Area
The effect of concentration on reaction rate is the greater the number of _______ _______ that are present in a certain volume, the greater the chance of _________s.reactant partilces, collision
The effect of temp on reaction rate is the greater the ___, the faster the ____ ___ will move, and therefore the more likely they are to____.Temperature, reactant particles, collide
The effect of catalyst on reaction rate is that catalysts act like ___ ______ that hold ____ _____ together so they react. Only certain ___ __ will fit.Puzzle pieces, reactant particles,
