Would you expect a calcium ion to be bigger, smaller or the same size as a calcium atom? Give TWO reasons to explain your answer.

Calcuim is in group two which means when it forms an ion it will donate its two outer elections, this means a calcium ion will be smaller as it has one less shell of electrons.

State and explain the effect of the following on the rate of a reaction: a) increasing temp b) increasing pressure c) increasing concentration of ONE reactant d) adding a catalyst. In each case state what will happen to the rate constant, k.

a)         will increase

            greater collision energy

            so greater chance of activation energy being exceeded

            so greater fraction of successful collision...

When you are given a table of half cells with values for electrode potentials, how do you find the strongest oxidising and reducing agent?

Possibly the easiest way to do this is by thinking about what the value of Electrode Potential means. The more positive the Electrode Potential, the greater the tendency of the species in the equation to ...

The Haber-Bosch process is used in industry to produce ammonia. Explain how the use of high temperature and pressure affects the rate of reaction.

According to collision theory: Increasing the temperature increases the average energy of the system. This means more molecules have enough energy to overcome the activation enthalpy when they collide, ca...
