What is a limiting factor?
The reactant that is completely used up when the reaction is over
1 of 34
What factors affect the rate of reaction?
Concentration, temperature, and surface area
2 of 34
Why does increasing the concentration increase the rate of reaction?
There are more particles in a given volume available for collisions
3 of 34
Why does increasing the temperature increase the reaction rate?
The particles gain kinetic energy and are moving faster so there is more likely to be a successful reaction
4 of 34
Why does increasing the surface area increase the reaction rate?
There are more particles exposed and available for collision
5 of 34
Why do catalysts speed up the reaction rate?
They lower the activation energy and provide a surface for reactions to take part on
6 of 34
What is conservation of mass?
The mass of the products is equal to the mass of the reactants
7 of 34
What is the percentage yield?
The amount of product you make as a % of the amount you theoretically make
8 of 34
Why don't most reactions have a yield of 100%?
Raw materials may not be pure, some product may be left in the apparatus, and the reaction may not have completely finished,
9 of 34
How do you work out atom economy?
(Mass of useful product/mass of all products) x 100
10 of 34
What are the problems with low atom economy?
Lots of waste - expensive to remove and dispose of, uses resources quickly, raw materials are expensive
11 of 34
How do you calculate energy transferred?
mass of water x 4.2 x temperature change
12 of 34
How do you calculate energy transferred per gram of fuel?
energy transferred/mass of fuel used
13 of 34
Does an exothermic reaction give out or take in energy?
Give out
14 of 34
Does an endothermic reaction give out or take in energy?
Take in
15 of 34
What is an energy value of a bond?
The energy that is taken in to make that bond or given out when breaking that bond
16 of 34
How are batch products made?
In small amounts to meet demand
17 of 34
What is a disadvantage of batch processes?
High labour costs and not as efficiant
18 of 34
How are continuous products made?
24/7 production and constantly working at full capacity
19 of 34
What is a disadvantage of continuous processes?
Not flexible
20 of 34
How are medicines made?
Batch process
21 of 34
Why are medicines so expensive?
Labour costs, research and testing, raw materials, marketing and legal costs, development time, energy costs
22 of 34
Why is developing new drugs so expensive?
Thousands of compounds need to be tested on living tissue and long-term trials need to prove effective
23 of 34
How can you tell if a chemical is pure?
It will melt and boil at a fixed temperature and it will give the same result when tested using chromatography
24 of 34
What is an allotrope?
A different structure of the same element. they have different physical properties but similar chemical properties
25 of 34
What is graphite used for?
Pencils
26 of 34
What is the structure of graphite?
Layers with a delocalised electron that moves along the layer. layers are only weakly attracted
27 of 34
What are the properties of graphite?
High melting and boiling points, conducts electricity
28 of 34
What is diamond used for?
Jewellery and cutting tools
29 of 34
What is the structure of diamond?
Strong covalent bonds with no delocalised electrons
30 of 34
What are the properties of diamond?
Hard, high melting and boiling points, doesn't conduct electricity
31 of 34
What is buckminsterfullerene used for?
To carry and deliver drug molecules around the body
32 of 34
What is the formula for buckminsterfullerene?
C60
33 of 34
What are nanotubes?
They are fullerenes that can be used to reinforce graphite, transport drugs around the body, or as semi-conductors in electrical circuits
