Title: L.O. To understand the reversible reactions

TASK 1: RAPID RECALL:


1) Define catalyst Speeds up the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy

2) Will the mass of the catalyst be the same at the start of the reaction and at the end of
the reaction? Yes
3) What are biological catalysts called? Enzymes

4) Many catalysts are transition metals, give 2 examples? (HINT: Look at periodic table,
pg.177) Zinc/ Iron/ titanium
5) What happens to the amount of activation energy of a reaction if a catalyst is added?
Lowers the activation energy
Success Criteria
• Identify reversible reactions
• Describe what a reversible reaction is
• Describe the energy changes in a reversible reaction
• Explain how a reaction can reach equilibrium
Catalysts

WITHOUT a catalyst WITH a catalyst


Catalysts
• Catalysts increase the rate of
reaction
• Lowers activation energy
• By providing a different pathway
Keywords and definitions
Key word Definition

Reversible The products of the reaction can also react together to produce
reactions the o………………… reactants.

Equilibrium When forward and backward reactions happen at the same


r…………. in a closed system
Exothermic Reaction that r……………….. energy into the surroundings.

Endothermic Reaction that t……………. in energy from the surroundings.

Anhydrous A substance that contains no w……………..


Reversible Reactions
• In some chemical reactions, the products of the reaction can react to
produce the original reactants.

• Such reactions are called reversible reactions and are represented:

They reach A + B C + D
equilibrium
(reactants) (products)
PRACTICAL
If a reversible reaction is exothermic in one direction, it is endothermic in the
opposite direction.
The same amount of energy is transferred in each case.

EXOTHERMIC REACTION

Hydrated copper sulfate (blue) ⇌ anhydrous copper sulfate (white) + water


ENDOTHERMIC REACTION

Let’s see how this changes..


Burning questions

• Describe your observations

• Explain what type of reaction this is.


RAG Cards out
In endothermic reaction, energy is..

 Given out to the surroundings


 Taken in from the surroundings
 The same
What happens to the temperature of the
surrounding during exothermic reaction?

 Increases
 Decreases
 Stays the same
What is a reversible reaction?

 A reaction where energy is given out to the


surroundings
 A reaction where both forward and
backward reactions happen at the same rate
 A reaction where products can react to
produce the original reactants.
IF the forward reaction is exothermic, the
reverse reaction is…

 Endothermic
 Exothermic
 Neither
Exam style question 1
Ethanol is manufactured from ethene and water as shown below:
C2H4 (g) + H2O (g) C2H5OH (g)
1) Write the correct symbol in the equation above to show that it
is a reversible reaction.
2) The temperature of the reaction can be changed to increase
the formation of ethanol at equilibrium. Explain what
equilibrium means.
3) A catalyst can be added to increase the rate of reaction. Explain
how the presence of catalysts increases the rate reaction.

1) Write the correct symbol in the equation above to show that it

2) The temperature of the reaction can be changed to increase
the formation of ethanol at equilibrium. Explain what
equilibrium means.
Equilibrium is reached when the forward and reverse
reactions occur at exactly the same rate in a closed system
Exam style question 1
3) A catalyst can be added to increase the rate of reaction. Explain
how the presence of catalysts increases the rate reaction.

Catalysts increase the rate of reaction


by providing a different pathway for the reaction that
has a lower activation energy,
so particles need less energy to react
