Chemistry Module 14: Kinetics

Speeding things up

100

Do this to the temperature to speed things up

What is increase the temperature?

200

Do this to the concentration to speed things up

What is increase the concentration?

300

Do this to solid reactants to speed things up

What is pulverize them? (Reduce them to powder)

400

Put this in the reaction vessel to speed things up

What is a catalyst?

500

This is how much you have slowed down the reaction if you have lowered the temperature by 30° C 

(We're looking for the factor)

What is a factor of 8? (or What is 8 times?)

The Rate Equation

100

Those are the units on the rate

What is M/s?

200

Those are the substances from a balanced chemical equation that are used in the rate equation

What are the reactants?

300

That is a number that is unique for each chemical reaction with respect to its rate

What is the rate constant?

400

That is a number in the rate equation that changes with temperature

What is the rate constant?

500

That is the part that depends on the overall order 

What are the units on the rate constant?

Catalysts

100

This kind of catalyst is associated with a reaction mechanism

What is a homogeneous catalyst?

200

This is what happens to the energy diagram when using a catalyst

What is a lowering of the hump? (Or what is a lowering of the activation energy?)

300

This kind of catalyst doesn't participate in the reaction at all

What is a heterogeneous catalyst?

400

This is the catalyst we used in our experiment

What is yeast?

500

This is the thing in a car that contains the catalyst that helps to convert CO to CO₂

What is a catalytic converter?

Formulae and Values

100

This is the formula you use to see if any work was actually done

What is work = force_parallel time distance?

200

This is the specific heat of water

What is 4.184 J/g·°C? (or what is 1.00 cal/g·°C?)

300

This is absolute zero in °C to two decimal places

What is -273.15° C?

400

This is the calorimetry equation

What is -q_object = q_water?

500

This is the formula you use to calculate density

What is mass/volume? (or what is grams/mL, etc.)

Hodge Podge

100

This is why you never have to add more catalysts to that thing in your car that does that thing for the environment . . .

What is because catalysts are not used up in the reaction?

200

This is how bases feel to the touch

What is slippery?

300

These are the elements that must be present in an ionic compound

What are metals?

400

This is how many decimal places you estimate whenever you make a measurement

What is one more decimal place?

500

This is the thing that limits the amount of product that can be formed in a chemical reaction

What is the limiting reactant?
