What is the activation energy of a reaction?
The minimum energy required by reactants for a reaction to occur in order to break the bonds between reactant atoms.
What is Collision Theory?
A theoretical model that accounts for the rates of chemical reactions in terms of collisions between particles occurring during a chemical reaction.
What is the difference between complete and incomplete combustion?
Complete combustion takes place with sufficient oxygen, and produces CO2 as a product. Incomplete combustion has oxygen as a limiting reagent.
What is the general equation for Kc?
[products]/[reactants]
What is an electrode?
A solid conductor in a half cell at which oxidation or reduction reactions occur
What is meant by the term "equilibrium"?
The point in a reversible chemical reaction where the rate of the forward and backward reactions are equal
What type of reaction results in a negative enthalpy number?
Exothermic
What type of reaction results in a positive enthalpy value?
Endothermic
What is fracking?
The process of injecting sand, water, or chemicals at high pressure into coal or rock to release natural trapped gas
What type of intermolecular force exists between molecules where a H atom is covalently bonded to O?
Hydrogen Bond
What is meant by "ignition point"?
The lowest temperature at which a liquid or gas will spontaneously ignite without the application of an external ignition source
State Le Chatelier's Principle
If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change, the system will adjust to partially oppose the effect of the change
In a Daniell cell, at which electrode does Reduction occur?
Cathode
In a Daniell cell, at which electrode does oxidation occur?
Anode
What is the term of a chemical species that accepts electrons in a redox reaction?
Oxidant
What is the term of a chemical species that donates electrons in a redox reaction?
Reductant
