  • Rate and Extent of Chemical Change
    • Rate of Reaction
      • The rate of chemical reaction is how fast the reactants are changed into products.
        • Slow reactions include the rusting of iron and chemical weathering.
        • Burning is a fast reaction but explosions are even faster and release a lot of gas.
        • Reactions with a moderate speed include magnesium fizzing in acid.
      • Particles must collide with enough energy in order to react
        • The more often particles collide, the faster the reaction.
        • Heat energy is produced when particles collide more frequently.
      • Rate of Reaction depends on five factors:
        • Concentration of a solution
          • The higher the concentration of the solution, the faster the rate of reaction.
        • The presence of a catalyst
          • The catalyst speeds up the rate of reaction without being used up.
        • Surface Area
          • Increasing the surface area increases the rate of reaction.
        • Temperature
          • Increasing the temperature increases the rate of reaction
        • Pressure of a gas
          • The higher the pressure, the faster the rate of reaction.
    • Reversible Reactions
      • Reversible reactions will reach equilibrium.
      • Reversible reactions can be exothermic or endothermic.
      • One example of a reversible reaction is anhydrous copper sulfate and hydrous copper sulfate.
    • Le Chatelier's Principle
      • Le Chatelier's Principle is the idea that if you change the conditions of a reversible reaction at equilibrium, the system will try to counteract that change.
