Give examples of the application of factor of size that affect the rate of reaction in daily activities. LS 7.3.1 (a) Burning of charcoal • When food is cooked with smaller pieces of charcoal, the food cooked faster . • The smaller pieces of charcoal have a larger total exposed surface area. • Hence, smaller pieces charcoal burns faster to produce more heat. (b) Cooking of smaller pieces of food • The total surface area on a smaller cut pieces of food is larger . • The food can absorb more heat. • Hence, the time taken for the food to be cooked is shorter . Give examples of the application of factor of temperature that affect the rate of reaction in daily activities. LS 7.3.1 (a) Storage of food in a refrigerator • When the food is kept in refrigerator, the food lasts longer. • The lower temperature in the refrigerator slows down the activity of the bacteria . • The bacteria produces less toxin , hence the rate of decomposition of food is lower . (b) Cooking food in a pressure cooker • The high pressure in pressure cooker increases the boiling point of water to a temperature above 100 ºC. • The kinetic energy of the particles in the food is increase/higher . • Hence, time taken for the food to be cooked is shorter . • Thus, the food cooked faster at a higher temperature in a pressure cooker. Give examples of the application of factor of concentration that affect the rate of reaction in daily activities. LS 7.3.1 (a) Statue, bridge or building made from iron deteriorate more rapidly than in less polluted air. • In a polluted atmosphere, the concentration of sulphur dioxide is high. • Sulphur dioxide dissolve in rain water to form high concentration of acid rain. • High concentration of acid corrodes building, monuments and statues made from marble (calcium carbonate) faster because calcium carbonate react with acid to produce salt, water and carbon dioxide. • Iron rust faster with the high concentration of acid rain. (b) Iron structures facing seafront rust faster. • Sea breeze contains high concentration of dissolved salts. • The high concentration dissolved salts becomes better electrolyte. • An electrolyte will increase the electrical conductivity of water. Hence, the rate corrosion of iron increases. Give examples of factor of catalyst in industrial processes and daily life. LS 7.3.1 (a) Haber process is an industrial process to manufacture ammonia gas . • The optimum conditions to run the process at a higher rate are: (i) The temperature is 400 ºC – 500 ºC.

MODULE • Chemistry FORM 4 UNIT 7 181 © Nilam Publication Sdn. Bhd. How to relate the frequency of effective collision with the rate of reaction? LS 7.4.2 • The effective collisions will result in chemical reaction. • When frequency of effective collision increases, the rate of reaction will also increase. Remark: Frequency of collision is the number of collisions in one second. How to change the frequency of effective collision? (i) The frequency of collision between particles (number of collisions per unit time). Or (ii) The activation energy of the chemical reaction. State factors that can change the frequency of effective collision. LS 7.4.2 (i) Size of solid reactant. (ii) Concentration of reacting solution. (iii) Temperature of reaction mixture. (iv) The presence of catalyst. Remark: Factors Frequency of collision or activation energy Frequency of effective collision Rate of reaction Affect Affect Affect 1 Size of Solid Reactant How does the change in size of solid reactant affect rate of reaction? • The smaller the size of solid reactant, the larger total surface area exposed to collision that allows more collision between reacting particles. Explain how this factor affects the rate of reaction. • When the size of solid reactant is larger, the total surface area at which reaction occur is smaller. • When the solid reactant is broken into smaller size, the total surface area at which reaction occur becomes larger. When the size of solid substance B is large, only outer layer of reacting particles B can react with reacting particles A When size of solid substance B is broken into smaller size, more reacting particles B can react with reacting particles A When the size substance B decreases Particle of substance A Particle of substance B • This will increase the frequency of collision between particles. • Thus, frequency of effective collisions between particles increases which leads to an increase of rate of reaction.

MODULE • Chemistry FORM 4 UNIT 7 © Nilam Publication Sdn. Bhd. 182 2 Concentration How does the concentration of solution affect rate of reaction? • Concentration is the number of solutes dissolved in a given volume of solution. • A higher concentration means that the number of particles of solute per unit volume is also higher, and vice versa. Explain how this factor affects the rate of reaction. • When the concentration of solution is higher, the number of particles per unit volume increases. • This will increase the frequency of collision between particles. • Thus, frequency of effective collisions between particles increases. At a lower concentration, the number of particles of A and B in a unit volume is lower, thus the frequency of collision between particles is low. At a higher concentration, the number of particles of A and B in a unit volume is higher, thus the frequency of collision between particles is high. When the concentration increases Particle of substance A Particle of substance B • This leads to an increase of rate of reaction. Explain why the monoprotic acid and diprotic acid have different rate of reaction when the concentration of the acids is the same. • For diprotic acid, 1 mol dm–3 of the acid ionises to 2 mol dm–3 of hidrogen ions, H+ Example: H2SO4 2H+ + SO4 2– 1 mol dm–3 2 mol dm–3 • For monoprotic acid, 1 mol dm–3 of the acid ionises to 1 mol dm–3 of hidrogen ions, H+ Example: HCl H+ + Cl– 1 mol dm–3 1 mol dm–3 • Hence, when the same concentration of sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid are used, the concentration of hydrogen ions in sulphuric acid is double . • The rate of reaction using sulphuric acid is higher than hydrochloric acid. 3 Temperature How does the temperature of solution affect rate of reaction? • The higher the temperature of a substance, the higher the kinetic energy of the reacting particles and vice versa. Explain how this factor affects the rate of reaction. • When the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of reacting particles increases and the particles move faster. • This will increase the frequency of collision between particles. • Thus, frequency of effective collisions between particles increases. • This leads to an increase of rate of reaction.

MODULE • Chemistry FORM 4 UNIT 7 183 © Nilam Publication Sdn. Bhd. 4 Catalyst Define catalyst. • It is a substance that change the rate of reaction without itself being chemically changed at the end of the reaction. How does catalyst affect the rate of reaction? • Catalyst provides alternative pathway of a reaction at lower activation energy for the reacting particles to react. Explain how this factor affects the rate of reaction. (i) In a reaction, if the reacting particles collide with energy lower than the activation energy, there will be no reaction. (ii) When catalyst is added to the same reaction, its provides alternative pathway with a lower activation energy for the reacting particles to react. (iii) With this lower activation energy, more reacting particles will have enough energy to react when they collide. (iv) This will increase the frequency of effective collisions between particles which leads to an increase of rate of reaction. – Ea : The activation energy without the presence of a catalyst. – Ea′ : The lower activation energy in the presence of a catalyst. Reaction path Products Reactants Uncatalysed reaction pathway Energy Catalysed reaction pathway Ea′ Ea State the characteristics of catalyst. (i) A catalyst does not change the amount of products of a reaction. (ii) Catalyst is specific to a particular reaction, different chemical reactions need different catalyst. (iii) Catalyst remains unchanged chemically during a reaction. (iv) Catalyst may undergo physical change during a reaction. (v) Only a small amount of catalyst needed to achieve big increase in rate of reaction. (vi) More amount of catalyst used can further increase the rate of reaction. (vii) Catalyst in powder form can further increase the rate of reaction. Factor: Catalyst 07 U7 Chemistry F4(p161-195)csy2p.indd 183 21/12/2022 3:40 PM

Bhd. 8.1 ALLOY AND ITS IMPORTANCE CS 8.1 PERFORMANCE LEVEL (PL) Mastered Not mastered PL1 Recall knowledge and basic skills about manufactured substances in industry. What is the meaning of alloy? LS 8.1.1 • Alloy is a mixture of two or more elements with a certain fixed/specific composition. • The major component in the mixture is a metal . State the relationship between arrangement of atom in pure metal with its ductility and malleability. LS 8.1.2 Pure metal is easily ductile Force Pure metals • Pure metals are formed from one type of atom . • The atoms in pure metal have the same size . • Atoms of the same size are arranged in layers . • When a force is applied to a pure metal, the atomic layers slide against each other easily. • Therefore, pure metals are ductile and easily pulled into fine wires. Pure metals is easily malleable Force • There is empty space between atoms in pure metal. When force is applied, the layer of metal atoms will slide and fill the space empty to new position. • Therefore, metals are malleable and its shape can be easily changed. Draw the arrangement of atoms in (a) Bronze (90% copper and 10% tin) (b) Steel (99% iron and 1% of carbon) [Relative atomic mass: Cu = 64, Sn = 119, Fe = 56, C = 12] (a) Bronze (90% Cu & 10% Sn) Tin Copper (b) Steel (99% Fe & 1% C) Carbon Iron Explain why an alloy is stronger than its pure metal in terms of the arrangement of atoms in metals and alloys. LS 8.1.2 • Atoms of other element added to the pure metal to make an alloy consists of atoms different in size. • These atoms disrupt the orderly arrangement of atoms in pure metal. • This makes it difficult for the layers of atoms in alloy to slide over each other when force is applied. Compare the properties of an alloy and a pure metal. LS 8.1.3 Property Alloy Pure metal Surface Shiny surface Dull surface Resistant to corrosion Resistant to corrosion Easily corrode Hardness and strength Hard and strong Less hard and strong 08 U8 Chemistry F4(p196-206)csy2p.indd 197 21/12/2022 3:41 PM
