#2 A decrease in temperature would _______________ the rate of a reaction. decrease
#3 Adding a catalyst speeds up a reaction by ______________ the activation energy. lowering
#4 Which reacts faster with 1.0 M HCl: 1g chunk of zinc or 1g of zinc powder and why? 1g zinc powder b/c more surface area
#5 What will react faster: ionic solids dissolved in water or covalent solids dissolved in water? ionic solids dissolved in water
Potential Energy Diagrams
#1 The amount of energy to get from the reactants to the activated complex activation energy
#2 If the products have more energy than the reactants, the reaction is: exo or endo? endothermic
#3 The difference between the potential energy of the products and the reactants is called heat of reaction
#4 Which particle is at the top of the hill activated complex
#5 When a catalyst is added it provides a(n) _______________ pathway for the reaction to occur. alternate/new
Table I
#1 Is the formation of C2H2 exo or endothermic? endothermic
#2 Is the decomposition of Al2O3 exo or endothermic? endothermic
#3 When the equation for forming C2H6 is re-written, which side would the heat be included on? the right
#4 How would the dissolving of NaCl feel? What would happen to the temperature? feels cold, temperature decreases

Entropy and Spontaneitiy
#1 Define entropy. disorder/randomness/chaos
#2 Name a phase change that would be a decrease in entropy. gas to liquid to solid
#3 Sublimation would be a(n) ____________ in entropy. increase
#4 Does entropy increase or decrease in the following reaction? C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) --> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) increase
#5 For a reaction to always be spontaneous, the entropy must _____________ and the energy must ______________. increase, decrease
Equilibrium
#1 At equilibrium, rates of the forward and reverse reactions are _______________ and the concentrations of reactants and products are ______________. equal, constant
#2 There is phase equilibrium for H2O(s) <--> H2O(l) at what temperature in K? 273 K
#3 A ___________________ solution is at equilibrium. saturated
#4 When pressure is increased on a chemical reaction at equilibrium, the reaction shifts to the side with _______________________. less moles of gas
#5 Adding a catalyst (will/will not) shift equilibrium. will not
Final Question
Explain, in terms of LeChatelier's Principle, why decreasing the concentration of N2 causes a decrease in NO concentration for the following equation. N2 + O2 <--> 2NO The reaction shifts to the left, decreasing the product NO.
