What is meant by the rate of a chemical reaction?

The time taken for products to get made or reactants to get used up

100

Which term describes a molecule that contains two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions?

Compound

100

Chemical bonding happens because all atoms are more stable if they have a ______ outer shell

full

100

What kind of reaction releases energy to the surroundings?

Exothermic

200

What are the four factors that affect the rate of reaction?

1. Temperature

2. Concentration/pressure

3. Surface area

4. Presence of a catalyst

200

Distillation can be used to separate substances in a solution due to a difference in their ________ points.

boiling

200

Metals ________ electrons, while non-metals ___________ electrons

lose, gain

200

What kind of reaction causes a temperature increase?

Exothermic

300

Calculate the mean rate at 40 degrees C

31

What is the symbol for hydrogen?

H

300

What charge does a sodium ion have? Sodium is a metal in group 1

+1

300

What is the missing label for this energy profile diagram?

Activation energy

400

Explain how surface area affects the rate of reaction

The greater the surface area, the more particles are available to react at a given time. This leads to more frequent successful collisions

400
How many electrons can each electron shell hold?

2 electrons on the first shell; 8 electrons on the second shell; 8 electrons on the third shell

400
What charge does a fluoride ion have? Fluorine is a non-metal in group 7

-1

400

Describe what is meant by activation energy

The minimum energy with which particles need to collide to cause a reaction

500

Why might the apparatus shown result in inaccurate readings for the volume of gas produced?

Delivery tube is not directly in the measuring cylinder, so some gas will not be collected

500

How many protons are in an atom of calcium?

20
