Chapter 18 Review Sheet
• What is the collision theory?
• How does temperature affect reaction rate?
• How does surface area affect reaction rate?
• How does concentration affect reactants?
• How does the presence of a catalyst affect the reaction rate?
• How do catalysts affect the activation energy?
• Know how to interpret reaction rate graphs with and without catalysts
2. • What is equilibrium? How does the rates of the forward reaction compare to the rates
of the reverse reaction?
• What is LeChatlier’s principle?
• What kind of shifts in equilibrium are expected with changes in:
Concentration
Temperature
Pressure
• Know that the amount of energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction is
the heat of reaction
Heat of reaction = PE of products – PE of reactants
• What is an endothermic reaction? Is their heat of reaction + or -?
• What is an exothermic reaction? Is their heat of reaction + or -?
• How do you calculate the Keq (equilibrium constant) for an equation
Ex.) aA + bB cC dD
• How does Keq determine whether the products or reactants are favored at equilibrium?
• What is entropy? What is the entropy trend for systems?
• What is enthalpy? What is the enthalpy trend for systems?
• Spontaneous vs. non spontaneous reactions
