Study Notes
Rate of Reaction
- Rate of reaction is inversely proportional to time taken; the shorter the time needed for reaction to complete, the faster the speed of the reaction.
- Speed of reaction = 1/time taken
- Measuring the amount of product produced in a period of time or measuring the amount of reactant remaining in a period of time is another method.
- This can be measured by plotting changes in volume of gas evolved, mass of reaction mixture, or changes in pressure of gas formed.
- Measuring evolved gas: A common example includes the reaction of limestone with acid which produces carbon dioxide. A syringe is used for measurement of gas produced at time intervals. The volume of gas is graphed against time.
- Measuring changes in mass: Marble reacted with acid in a flask with cotton wool to prevent splashing. The readings on a balance are plotted on a graph at time intervals
Factors Affecting Speed of Reaction
- Particle size of reactant: Smaller particles result in a faster reaction rate. This is because a larger surface area allows for more collisions between reactant particles.
- Concentration of reactant: Higher concentration increases reaction rate. Increased reactant particles in a given volume results in more frequent collisions.
- Pressure of reactant: Higher pressure increases the reaction rate, especially for gaseous reactions. The molecules are forced to move closely, leading to more collisions.
- Temperature: Increased temperature increases reaction rate. Increased temperature supplies more energy for the particle collisions. The collisions are more forceful.
- Effect of catalyst: Catalysts speed up reactions without being consumed in the process. They provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy.
-
Enzymes*: biological catalysts
- Specific to one type of reaction
- Sensitive to temperature (40°C usually)
- Sensitive to pH level
Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions
- Exothermic reactions: Release heat energy, ΔΗ (heat change) has a negative value. The energy released from forming products is greater than the energy absorbed from breaking bonds in reactants
- Endothermic reactions: Absorb heat energy, ΔΗ has a positive value. The energy absorbed to break bonds in reactants is greater than the energy released from forming products.
- Examples of exothermic changes: Changes of state (gas to liquid or solid), combustion (burning) reactions, and dissolving of anhydrous salts/acids in water; Example: dissolving of Na2CO3 in water or CuSO4.
- Examples of endothermic reactions: Melting, evaporation, photolysis (reaction with light), decomposition using heat, dissolving ionic compounds, and acid reacting with bicarbonates. Example: Reaction of light sensitive silver chloride in a camera.
Fuels
- Fuels are substances that release energy when burned (oxidized).
- Common fuels include methane, wood, oil, natural gas, and hydrogen
- Combustion in air provides energy and gives out heat
Hydrogen as a Fuel
- Hydrogen burns cleanly in air forming steam.
- Hydrogen provides double the heat energy per gram compared to other fuels). Hydrogen production (methods): Electrolysis of water, or cracking of hydrocarbons.
Fuel Cells
- Fuel cells directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
- Hydrogen reacts with hydroxide ions to form water and release electrons
- Oxygen takes in electrons to create hydroxide ions
Petroleum
- A mixture of hydrocarbons, refined (separated into different fractions)
- Crude oil heated to 350°C, vapors rise.
- Different fractions condense at different temperatures, collected in a fractionating column
Photosynthesis
- Plants take in carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to synthesize glucose and release oxygen.
- This is crucial as glucose provides plants energy.

- Measuring time for completion of reaction
- Activation energy
