  • What does increasing the temperature do to the rate of the reaction ?
    Particles nave more kinetic energy , therefore move faster this means that More frequent successful collisions occur
  • What does increasing the pressure do to the rate of reaction?
    more particles in the given volume therefore more successful collisions
  • what does increasing surface area do to the rate of reaction?
    more exposed particles per given mass therefore more frequent collisions
  • What does a catalyst do to the rate of reaction?
    • provides an alternative pathway for the reaction therefore reducing activation energy as a result more successful collisions
  • what is le Chatellier’s principal
    • If a system is at equilibrium and a change is made to any of the conditions, then the system responds to counteract the change
  • What happens to the concentration in le chatelier's principle?
    > if the concentration of reactant is increased then more products will be formed and equilibrium will be reached again
    > if the concentration of the products is decreased then more reactants will react until equilibrium is reached again
  • What happens to the pressure in le chatelier's principle?
    • if pressure is increased then the equilibrium will favor the side with fewer moles
    • if the pressure is decreased then the equilibrium will favor the side with the most moles
  • What happens to the Temperature in le chatelier's principle?
    >if the temperature is increased the equilibrium will favor the endothermic
    > if the temperature is decreased the equilibrium will favor the exothermic reaction
  • What is fractional distillation?
    >crude oil is vaporized and heated
    > there is a temperature gradient in column (cool at the top/ hot at the bottom
    >(vapor) condenses into fractions
    >dependent on moles of gas
  • Chromatography:
    >Dyes and inks distributed differently between stationary and mobile phases so dyes move up the paper at different rates
    >Different substances have different solubility so move different distances up the paper
  • Earths early atmosphere:
    > Intense volcanic activity that released gases that formed the early atmosphere
    >water vapor condensed to form the oceans
    >Earths atmosphere may have been like the atmosphere of mars and venus today, consisting of mainly carbon dioxide with little or no oxygen gas
  • Earths early atmosphere:
    >Volcanoes also produced nitrogen which gradually built up in the atmosphere and there may have been small proportions of methane and ammonia
    >when the oceans formed carbon dioxide dissolved in the water and carbonates were precipitated producing sediments, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
  • Greenhouse effect :
    > short wavelength radiation which enters the atmosphere it is absorbed by materials and re-emitted as long wave length radiation which is absorbed by greenhouse gasses which stops the radiation escaping
  • Sustainable development?
    > Development that meets the needs of the current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
  • Distillation RP:
    test water sample with universal indicator
    >weigh evaporating dish
    > measure water sample
    >Evaporate water in the dish
    > re-weigh and calculate the mass of solid
  • Photomining:
    > Grow plants in low grade ore
    > Harvest and burn the plants
    >React ash with sulphuric acid to produce metal sulphate solution
    > extract metal by displacement or electrolysis
  • Bioleaching:
    >bacteria used to produce a leachate containing metal solution
    >Metal extracted by displacement or electrolysis
