what is the equation for half-life
t1/2 = ln2/k
t1/2=lnk can only be used for _______ order reactions
1st
what is the equation used to find the number of half lives for 1st order reactions?
Ct/Co = (1/2)^n Ct – [ ] at time t Co – initial [ ] n – no. of half lives
what methods can be used to measure the volume of gas produced?
• gas syringe • water displacement method
how can changes in mass be measured?
with an electronic balance
if a reactant is iodine, what chemical method of analysis can be used?
clock reaction
what does quenching mean?
it means stopping the rxn
why must quenching be done in titration?
quenching stops the reaction, reducing inaccuracy in titration results
what are some methods for quenching
• adding a suitable base/acid to neutralise reacting mixture • sudden, rapid dilution w large quantity of water/any suitable solvent • sudden, rapid cooling by plunging the mixture into ice
why is dilution an effective method for quenching?
• dilution lowers conc of reactants • rate decr
how does cooling the mixture prevent further reaction from occuring?
• cooling lowers rate constant k • thus rate decreases
the rate determining step is the [fast/slow] step
slow
do intermediates appear in the overall equation? [yes/no]
no
