This page introduces the concept of reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium in chemistry.
Definition: A reversible reaction is one where the products can react to reform the original reactants.
Key points:
Example: The reaction between hydrated copper sulfate and anhydrous copper sulfate is reversible.
Le Chatelier's Principle is introduced, which states that if conditions of a reversible reaction are changed, the system will try to counteract the change.
Highlight: Understanding reversible reactions and equilibrium is crucial for GCSE Chemistry past papers and exams.
This page describes an experimental method to measure the rate of reaction by monitoring gas volume.
Procedure:
Highlight: This experiment demonstrates how concentration affects the rate of reaction, a key topic in GCSE Chemistry.
Example: Repeating the experiment with different acid concentrations shows how concentration influences reaction rate.
This page outlines another practical method to investigate the effect of concentration on reaction rate.
Procedure:
Highlight: This experiment is an excellent way to visually demonstrate how concentration affects the rate of reaction in chemistry.
Vocabulary: The cloudiness is caused by the production of sulfur in the reaction.
This page covers hydrocarbons, their properties, and processes related to crude oil.
Key points:
Definition: Fractional distillation is a method used to separate crude oil into fractions based on boiling points.
Example: Steam cracking and catalytic cracking are two methods used to produce shorter chain hydrocarbons and alkenes.
Highlight: Understanding hydrocarbon chemistry is essential for AQA GCSE Chemistry revision.
This page provides methods for identifying common gases in chemistry experiments.
Gas tests:
Highlight: These gas tests are frequently featured in GCSE Chemistry past papers and practical exams.
Example: To test for carbon dioxide, bubble the gas through limewater. If it turns cloudy, carbon dioxide is present.
This page discusses methods for determining the purity of substances using melting and boiling points.
Key points:
Highlight: Understanding how to determine substance purity is crucial for GCSE Chemistry revision.
Example: If a sample boils over a range of temperatures rather than at a specific point, it likely contains impurities.
This page discusses the factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions, emphasizing the importance of collision theory.
Definition: Collision theory states that for a reaction to occur, particles must collide with sufficient energy and correct orientation.
Factors influencing reaction rates include:
Highlight: Increasing temperature, concentration, pressure, or surface area generally increases the rate of reaction by promoting more frequent and energetic collisions.
The rate of reaction can be measured by the slope of a graph showing the quantity of reactant used or product formed over time.
Vocabulary: Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a successful collision between reactant particles.
Example: Powdering a solid reactant increases its surface area, leading to a higher rate of reaction.
