10 Questions
What happens when hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are mixed together without a spark?
Nothing much happens.
What is stoichiometry concerned with when looking at a chemical equation?
The number of atoms in the equation and the balance of substances needed for the reaction.
How do chemists measure heat, and what are heat sources and heat sinks?
Chemists measure heat in units called Joules. Heat sources have higher temperatures than the surrounding area, while heat sinks have lower temperatures.
Where is the energy stored when you burn a piece of wood, and how is it related to the Sun?
The energy released when burning a piece of wood comes from the chemical bonds in the wood, which originally stored the Sun's energy through photosynthesis.
What are the factors that affect the overall speed of a chemical reaction?
Temperature, concentration, pressure, catalyst, and surface area
What are the different measures of reaction rates that scientists like to know?
Forward rate, reverse rate, net rate, average rate, and instantaneous rate
What does stoichiometry study in chemistry and what does it help determine?
Stoichiometry studies the amounts of substances involved in reactions and helps determine the mass of reactants, mass of products, and various chemical parameters
What is the rate of a reaction?
The speed at which a chemical reaction happens.
Explain the collision theory in relation to rates of reaction.
The collision theory states that as more collisions in a system occur, there will be more combinations of molecules bouncing into each other, leading to a higher chance of completing the reaction and an increase in the reaction rate.
How does the concentration of essential elements or compounds affect the rate of a reaction?
Low concentrations of essential elements or compounds result in slower reactions.
