speed of a reaction.... Tuesday, 16 April, 13 What is a chemical reaction?
When the reactants have been chemically
changed into new products. Tuesday, 16 April, 13 How to know a chemical reaction has occurred? Is this a chemical reaction? Year 7, how do I know if it is a chemical reaction? Do some research to nd out! Tuesday, 16 April, 13 How to know a chemical reaction has occurred? A chemical reaction has occurred if there has been a change in: colour! Tuesday, 16 April, 13 Chemistry in the kitchen: chemical reactions causing colour changes! Can you think of examples? Tuesday, 16 April, 13 How to know a chemical reaction has occurred? A chemical reaction has occurred if there has been a change in: smell! Tuesday, 16 April, 13 Chemistry in the kitchen: chemical reactions producing smells! Can you think of examples? Tuesday, 16 April, 13 How to know a chemical reaction has occurred? A chemical reaction has occurred if there has been a change in: temperature! Tuesday, 16 April, 13 Chemistry in the kitchen: chemical reactions causing temperature changes! Can you think of examples? Tuesday, 16 April, 13 How to know a chemical reaction has occurred? A chemical reaction has occurred if there has been a change in: form! Tuesday, 16 April, 13 Chemistry in the kitchen: chemical reactions causing change of form! Can you think of examples? Tuesday, 16 April, 13 How to know a chemical reaction has occurred? A chemical reaction has occurred if there has been: a production of light, sound or heat! Tuesday, 16 April, 13 Chemistry in the kitchen: chemical reactions producing light, sound or heat! Can you think of examples? Tuesday, 16 April, 13 How to know a chemical reaction has occurred? A chemical reaction has occurred if there has been: a production of gas! Tuesday, 16 April, 13 Chemistry in the kitchen: chemical reactions causing colour changes! Can you think of examples? Tuesday, 16 April, 13 How to know a chemical reaction has occurred? A chemical reaction has occurred if there has been: a production of a solid from liquids. Tuesday, 16 April, 13 Chemistry in the kitchen: chemical reactions causing colour changes! Can you think of examples? Tuesday, 16 April, 13 What affects the speed of a chemical reaction? So, what can affect the speed of a chemical reaction? Do some research! Tuesday, 16 April, 13 What affects the speed of a chemical reaction? The rate of chemical reactions increases as concentration increases. Rate of reaction also increases as temperature increases Tuesday, 16 April, 13 What affects the speed of a chemical reaction? We can see an increase in reaction rate by: 1. An increase in the reactants being used up, 2. An increase in the production of products. Tuesday, 16 April, 13 What affects the speed of a chemical reaction? Answer these questions: 1. Why does fruit ripen more quickly in summer than winter? 2. Which cook more quickly - potato wedges or thin potato chips? Why? 3. Is food stored in a freezer still okay to eat after a number of years? Explain. Ext. What is an enzyme and how do they work? Tuesday, 16 April, 13 What affects the speed of a chemical reaction? 1. Why does fruit ripen more quickly in summer than winter? The temperatures in summer are higher. At a higher temperature, the particles are moving faster. If the particles are moving faster, then the reaction will be faster also. Tuesday, 16 April, 13 What affects the speed of a chemical reaction? 2. Which cook more quickly - potato wedges or thin potato chips? Why? The thin potato chips will cook faster. This is because they have a larger surface area to volume ratio. Tuesday, 16 April, 13 What affects the speed of a chemical reaction? 3. Is food stored in a freezer still okay to eat after a number of years? Explain. Possibly, because very low temperatures slow down the chemical reactions that cause food to rot. These factors need to be considered: - Quick freezing is better! - Temperature must be low enough - Some foods can be frozen longer than others - Packaging is imprtant Tuesday, 16 April, 13
