Energetics & Rates GCSE REVISION
1. What is the Minimum Amount of Energy needed for a Reaction called? • Activation Energy
2. Give three ways of Increasing the Rate of a Reaction. • Increase concentration • Increase temperature • Increase surface area • Use a catalyst (any three)
3. What happens if you Increase the Temperature? • Particles gain kinetic energy • Particles move faster • More successful collisions • Faster rate of reaction
4. What happens if you Increase the Concentration? • More particles present • Greater chance of successful collision • Faster rate of reaction
5. What is a Catalyst? Speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up itself
6. Write the Equation for the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide Water + Oxygen
Manganese dioxide (catalyst) Liver or potato (enzyme) 7.What Catalyst/ enzyme is used for the Decompositionof Hydrogen Peroxide?
8. What does Exothermic mean? • Chemical reaction which gives out heat energy
9. How is Activation Energy shown on an Energy Level Diagram? • As a hill.
11. Why is the heat energy given a negative sign for an Exothermic Reaction? • a) One which dissociates (breaks up) fully into ions when aqueous • b) HCl (aq) H2SO4(aq)
12. Draw an energy profile diagram for an endothermic reaction.
