RATES OF REACTIONThe rate of a chemical reaction is determined by HOW FASTa reaction occurs (this is the rate of
reaction):
TYPES OF REACTION :VERY FAST an explosion e.g. dynamite
FAST group 1 metals + water
SLOW zinc + acidVERY SLOW rusting
FACTORS AFFECTING RATE :TEMPERATURE: each atom will then have a higher kinetic energy, which increases the number of collisions(as the particles are moving faster and crazier), and bigger and faster collisions
CONCENTRATION: a higher concentration means more atoms and molecules which will then increase theprobability of collision, which increases the efficiency of a reaction
SURFACE AREA: the larger the surface area, the more reactions can take place on that certain substance,which increases the efficiency of the reaction
CATALYST: lowers the ACTIVATION ENERGY allowing the substance to react at a lower temperature, whichdecreases the amount of energy needed, allowing it to react faster
PRESSURE: the increase in pressure for gases is the same as increasing concentration for liquids; it meansthat there are more of that certain atom, which therefore increases the likelihood of collision
CATALYSTSThey are mainly used in industrial processes, as they manage to speed up the rate of reaction. They do this
by lowering the activation energy, which means that they can use less energy to complete the reaction. This
reduces costs, and is therefore very useful to the companies.
ENZYMESEnzymes are complex molecules which act as a biological catalyst in leaving systems, such as humans
(amylase, protease etc.). They are very sensitive to temperature and pH.

LATTICE STRUCTUREA way of displaying regular patterns within atoms of oppositely charged ions is used a lattice structure:
IONIC SUBSTANCES THEY HAVE HIGH METING POINTS: strong electrostatic bonds between each ion (and these have to
break)o The greater the charge on the ions the higher the melting and boiling point.
COVALENT BONDINGDEFINITION :Covalent bonding is the sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms. Covalent bonds are only
formed between NON-METALS + NON-METALS.

THE STRUCTURE DIAGRAM
SIMPLE MOLECULAR SUBSTANCESThey normally have low boiling and melting points because the forces of attraction are typically
weaker, and therefore they are easier to break.
They dont conduct electricity, because they are all COVALENT bonds, and therefore share electrons which
UTILISES all of them, which means there are no free electrons.
DIAMOND and GRAPHITE have many strong covalent bonds making their melting and boiling points veryhigh.
HOWEVER
DIAMOND has no free electrons within its structure which means that it cannot conduct electricity.
GRAPHITEdoes have free electrons between layers of carbon atoms, and can therefore conductelectricity. It also has layers of carbon atoms connected by weak bonds making them slippery.
Giant Structure Molecular Structure
Substances made up ofhuge numbersof atoms, or
ions
Substances that are made up of a mixed number of
atoms shown by the molecular formula (eg. H2O or

RUSTINGFe2 + 3O2 Fe2O3
A REDOX reaction will occur and the iron will be oxidised. Rusting normally occurs in moisture-prone areas.
EXTRACTION &USES OF METALSMost metals found recently are higher up in the reactivity series. This is because as technology progresses
we are able to find more reactive substances, which could not have been found previously, and so are now
founded.
As the reactivity series increases the extraction methods become more extravagant and expensive.
If the substance is low down it is safer and can therefore be used in consumer products.

GENERAL STRUCTURE
Isotope: atoms with different numbers of neutrons however, are the same element.
Relative atomic mass: the weighted average mass of the isotopes of an element relative to an atom of
Carbon-12
We use the weighted average mass because there ARENT EQUAL AMOUNTS OF ISOTOPES of eachelement.
To find out the Relative Formula Mass (Mr) of Chlorines isotopes, we need to know its isotopes and their
relative atomic mass:
Eg1. The isotopes of chlorine are: 75% 35Cl, and 25% 37Cl.
When we add these two together, we get 35.5, this means the RFM (Mr) is 35.5 (35.5Cl)
Relative Formula Mass: the relative formula mass of a compound is the sum of relative atomic masses (Ar)
of the atoms in the numbers shown in the formula.

Mass
MrMole
THE MOLEThe mole is a measurement of a substance, a mole of carbon; a mole of water.
For example: Ar of C=12 . . . So 1 mole of C is 12g
Mr of H2O is 18, so 1 mole of H2O is 18g
The molar mass = mass of 1 mole
= same as Mr
QUESTIONS
Whats the mass of 1 mole of Mg?
Ar=24.3, 1 mole=24.3g
What is the mass of 1 mole of NaOH?
Mr=40, 1 mole=40g
What is the mass of 0.2 moles of CaCO3?
Mr=100, 0.2x100=20g
How many Moles in 54g of H2O?
Mr=18,
18 moles
AVOGADROS NUMBER One mole of something always contains the same number of molecules (or atoms if its an element) That number is 3 So 1 mole of carbon has a mass of 12g and contains 3 atoms of Carbon-12 But 1 mole of water has a mass of 18g and also contains 3 of water molecules

ETHANOLEthanol is manufactured by two different processes: fermentation and direct hydration of ethane.
Fermentation Dissolve sugar or starch in water and add yeast Leave the mixture to ferment at 25-40C for several days in the absence of air Filter off the excess yeast to obtain a dilute solution of ethanol
If the ethanol content in the mixture rises to around 15%, the yeast is now killed. If a moreconcentrated solution of ethanol is required, the mixture is fractionally distilled.
Whatever the starting point, sugar or starch, the enzymes in the yeast produce glucose, C6H12O6. Theenzymes in yeast then convert the glucose into ethanol:

ELECTROLYSIS
The positive and negative electrodes are made of graphite (Carbon). The electrolyte is a solution of aluminium oxide dissolved in molten cryolite. The main ore of aluminium is bauxite. The bauxite is first purified to produce aluminium oxide, Al2O3 Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point and hence it is dissolved in cryolite to make the
electrolyte. This mixture has a much lower melting point and is also a much better conductor ofelectricity than molten aluminium oxide.
At the negative electrode:3
The aluminium melts and collects at the bottom of the cell and is then tapped off.
At the positive electrode:
Some of the oxygen produced at the positive electrode then reacts with
graphite to produce carbon dioxide gas:

CRUDE OILWHAT IS IT?Crude oil is a thick, sticky, black liquid that is found under the ground and under the sea in certain
parts of the world such as the Middle East and Texas (USA). It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, MOSTLY
ALKANES.
REFINING CRUDE OILCrude oil, as such, has no direct use. It has to BE REFINED before it is of any use. The first step in the
refining of crude oil is FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION.
Fractional distillation is carried out in fractioning columns. The column is hot at the bottom and gradually
becomes cooler towards the top.
The crude oil is split into various fractions
as described below. A fraction is a mixture
of hydrocarbons with very similar boiling
points.
Crude oil is heated to convert it intoVAPOUR and is then fed into the
bottom of the column
The hydrocarbons with very highboiling points (fuel oil and bitumen)IMMEDIATELY TURN INTO LIQUIDS
and are tapped off at the bottom ofthe column
The hydrocarbons that have boilingpoints lower than 400oC remain as
gases and RISE UP THE COLUMN,AS THEY DO THEY COOL DOWN.
The different fractions willcondense at different heights
according to their different boilingpoints. When they condense theyare tapped off as liquids
The fraction with the lowest boilingpoint (refinery gas) REMAINS AS AGAS and comes out the top.

HOW DOES CRACKING WORK?Alkane is a long-chain hydrocarbon, and these molecules are passed over a catalyst (silica or aluminium
oxide) and heated to about 600oC. They then start to break down into a short-chained alkane, and at least
one alkene.
Eg. Cracking of Decane (C10H22) to produce octane (C8H18) and ethene (C2H4).

Over several days the water will rise up the burette and reach a constant level. This is because
the iron reacts with the oxygen in the air. Take the initial and final readings of the water level

LABORATORY PREPARATION OF OXYGENHydrogen peroxide (H2O2), decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen. The speed of decomposition is
increased by adding a catalyst: MnO2, manganese dioxide. The oxygen can be collected over water. Since
oxygen is not very soluble in water, very little is lost. An aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide is used.
