 Question 1

What must happen to particles if a reaction is to occur?

They must collide.

 Question 2

State Le Chatelier’s principle.

If the conditions of a reversible reaction (at

equilibrium) are changed, the system will counteract
that change.

back
 Question 3

Define the term ‘dynamic equilibrium’.

Both the forward and backward reactions are

happening at the same pace.

back
 Question 4

Explain how surface area affects the rate of reaction.

The greater the surface area (the smaller the particles), the
faster the rate of reaction.

 Question 5

What is a precipitate?

An insoluble product produced by a reaction.

back
 Question 6

Describe a method of measuring the rate of reaction if a gas is produced.

Change in mass or using a gas syringe.

 Question 7

What is an exothermic reaction? Name an example.

Energy is transferred to the surroundings, giving

an increase in temperature. Examples include
combustion, neutralisation reactions, hand
warmers.

back
 Question 8

What is a catalyst?

A catalyst speeds up the rate of reaction without

being used in the reaction.

 Question 9

True or false? Energy is released when bonds are formed.

True.
