Define the rate of reaction
the change in concentration per unit time of any one reactant/product
Define the instantaneous rate of the reaction
The rate of reaction at any one particular time during the reaction
and calculated using the slope
List factors affecting rates of reactions
The nature of the reactants
Particle size
concentration
temperature
Presence of a catalyst
What is a catalyst
A substance that alters the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed in the reaction
Define an enzyme
A substance that is produced by a living cell and acts as a biological catalyst
Homogeneous catalyst
a catalysis in which both the reactants and the catalyst are in the
same phase
there is
no boundary
between the reactacts and the catalyst
Heterogenous catalysis
Catalysis in which the reactants and the catalyst are in
different
phases
.
there is
a boundary
between
the
reactants and the catalyst
Autocatalysis
A catalysis in which
one of the products
of the reaction
acts as a catalyst for the reaction
What is adsorption
A substance is drawn down onto the surface of a solid
What materials are a catalytic converter covered in?
Platinum
Palladium
Rhodium
Why is the catalytic converter covered in transition metals
catalyze
the
conversion of a vehicle's pollutant exhaust gases
into
less harmful
substances
that are safer to release
Define activation energy
The minimum energy which colliding particles must-have for a reaction to occur
the minimum energy required for the effective collision between particles to occur
