RATES OF REACTION A guide for GCSE students 2010 SPECIFICATIONS KNOCKHARDY PUBLISHING

2 RATES OF REACTION www.knockhardy.org.uk INTRODUCTION
This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students understand selected GCSE Chemistry topics. It is based on the requirements of the AQA specification but is suitable for other examination boards. Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes and it can also prove useful for classroom teaching with an interactive white board. Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of AS and A2 Chemistry topics, are available from the KNOCKHARDY WEBSITE at... All diagrams and animations in this Powerpoint are original and created by Jonathan Hopton. Permission must be obtained for their use in any commercial work.

3 THE IMPORTANCE OF REACTION RATE
Being able to speed up or slow down chemical reactions is important in industry and in everyday life. Reactions… which take place slowly may need to be speeded up which are too fast may need to be controlled may need to be carried out at a lower temperature to save energy or be safer

Being able to speed up or slow down chemical reactions is important in industry and in everyday life. Reactions… which take place slowly may need to be speeded up which are too fast may need to be controlled may need to be carried out at a lower temperature to save energy or be safer Changes in temperature concentration of solution gas pressure surface area of solids plus the presence of catalysts all affect the rate of reactions.

63 MEASURING REACTION RATES
The rate of a chemical reaction can be found by measuring the amount of a reactant used or the amount of product formed over time. eg rate of reaction = amount of reactant used time or = amount of product formed

64 MEASURING REACTION RATES
RATE How much concentration changes with time. THE SLOPE OF THE GRADIENT OF THE CURVE GETS LESS AS THE REACTION SLOWS DOWN WITH TIME CONCENTRATION y x gradient (slope) = y x TIME the rate is found from the slope (gradient) of the curve the slope at the start of the reaction will give the INITIAL RATE the slope gets less as the reaction proceeds
