Corrosion is defined as the atmospheric oxidation of metals. By far the most important form of corrosion is the rusting of iron. Rusting is essentially a process of oxidation in which iron combines with water and oxygen to form rust, the reddish-brown crust that forms on the surface of iron. Rust is a chemical compound, a hydrated iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3⋅H2O). The chemical reaction of rusting involves the oxidation of metallic iron to ferrous ion (Fe2+) and the oxidation of the ferrous ion with oxygen and water to form ferric iron (Fe3+) rust. The reaction is catalyzed by water, salts and acids. Chemical reactions always produce new substances. Both the chemical and physical properties of the substances involved in the chemical reaction are changed. Oxygen reacts with iron to produce iron (III) oxide (rust). Iron is a metal and oxygen is an invisible gas. The chemical reaction produces a dull-red powder. This material has physical and chemical properties very different from the starting elements. A new substance is always produced in a _______ ______.

A pressure cooker increases the temperature at which water boils which increases the rate at which the food cooks. Likewise, keeping foods cold decreases the reaction rates which cause them to spoil. For example, the bacterial reactions that cause food to spoil proceed much more rapidly at room temperature than at the lower temperatures of a refrigerator. Keeping milk in a refrigerator will (increase, decrease) the rate at which it will go sour.
decrease
Le Chatelier's principle indicates the shift in the equilibrium position that results from a pressure change caused by a change in volume. For example, increasing the pressure of a system at equilibrium will cause the system to shift in a direction that reduces the total number of gas molecules. Decreasing the volume of a gaseous system at equilibrium will cause the system to (increase, decrease) the total number of gas molecules.
decrease

Consider the reaction A → B, in which we start with pure compound A in a closed container. As [A] decreases the rate of the forward reaction, Kf, decreases. Likewise, as [B] increases the rate of the reverse reaction, Kr, increases. Eventually the reaction reaches a point at which the forward (Kf) and reverse (Kr) rates become equal, and the concentrations of A and B no longer change (composition remains constant) and the ratio [B]/[A] = a constant At equilibrium the concentrations of reactants and products (do, do not) change with time.

Because the oxidation number for hydrogen does not change, it is neither oxidized or reduced in this reaction. Every element (does, does not) change oxidation number.

We have been discussing the effect of concentration changes on a system at equilibrium. If we add a pure solid to an equilibrium system there is no shift in the equilibrium position. This is because there is no change in the concentration. The solid is 100% pure before the addition and it is still 100% after the addition. An equilibrium system involving a pure solid (does, does not) shift when more solid is added.
does not
We have already seen examples of equilibrium. The vapor pressure of water in a closed bottle is one example as shown in the figure above. Equilibrium is established when the rate at which liquid water evaporates equals the rate at which the gaseous water condenses. Equilibrium is a dynamic process since both evaporation and condensation are occurring at equal rates. (Note: For equilibrium to occur neither reactants nor products can be allowed to escape the container - the change must be in a closed system) Equilibrium is a (static, dynamic) process.

Most chemical reactions reach a steady-state condition and appear to stop before they reach completion. When this condition occurs there are actually two reactions occurring: (1) a forward reaction which consumes reactants to form products, and (2) a reverse reaction which consumes the products to re-form the reactants. Equilibrium is achieved when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal and the concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant. For chemical equilibrium to occur a forward reaction rate must be ____ to a ______ reaction rate.
equal, reverse
Exothermic process are chemical or physical changes in which heat is evolved. Endothermic process are chemical or physical changes in which heat is absorbed. The system is defined as the materials undergoing a process. If a process is exothermic the system produces heat so thermal energy is transferred from the system to the surroundings. If a process is endothermic the system absorbs heat so thermal energy is transferred from the surroundings to the system. Note: you look for the change of heat in the surroundings as shown in the figure below. If the surroundings gain heat, the system will be (exothermic, endothermic).
exothermic
Consider the general reaction: The equilibrium constant for this reaction is given by the equation: We call this equation the equilibrium constant expression.

The value Kc is determined by the equilibrium constant _____ .
expression
As shown in the figure below, the minimum kinetic energy needed for a reaction to occur is called the ACTIVATION ENERGY. Every chemical reaction has a unique activation energy. The activation energy is one of the main factors that determines how fast a reaction proceeds. Reactions with high-activation energies are slow; reactions with low-activation energies are fast. All chemical reactions have the same activation energy. (true, false)
false
It is common to assume that chemical reactions go to completion, that is, reactions continue until one or more of the reactants is completely used up. However, this usually is not the case. For most chemical reactions, the complete conversion of reactants to products does not occur regardless of the amount of time allowed for the reaction. The reason for this is that product molecules can react with each other to re-form the reactants. With time the rate of product formation and the rate of reactant re-formation become equal which results in a steady-state condition. At this point the reaction appears to stop because the concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant. Most reactions go to completion. (true, false)
false
A charcoal briquette can take several hours to burn. However, if you grind the charcoal briquette into a fine powder it will burn dangerously fast. To completely describe a chemical reaction we need to know how fast the reactants change into products. It is important for us to know how ____ a chemical reaction will occur.
fast
Small particles react faster than larger particles. If the particle size is very small, reaction rates can be so fast that an explosion occurs. A large lump of coal burns slowly in air. However, coal dust in underground coal mines is very dangerous because it burns explosively fast. Saw dust is dangerous because it has high surface area and will burn (fast, slow).
fast
Catalysts decrease the activation energy of a reaction. When the activation energy is lower, the rate of a chemical reaction will be (faster, slower).
faster
If the reactant is a solid, the physical nature also depends on the particle size. Reactions occur at the surface of solids. Decreasing the particle size increases the amount of surface (surface area) which increases the reaction rate. For example, you cannot start a large log on fire with a match, but you can start a pile of small twigs on fire because they are smaller and have high surface area. Small particles react (faster, slower) than larger particles.
faster
In summary; if the pressure of a gaseous reaction mixture is increased by decreasing the volume, the reaction will shift in direction which gives fewer gas molecules. Consider the reaction: If the pressure of this mixture is increased by reducing the volume it responds by shifting in a direction which gives fewer gaseous molecules. In this case the reaction shifts to the left, since there are fewer moles of gaseous reactants. When NO2 reacts to give N2O4 there will be (fewer, more) gaseous molecules.
fewer
Chemical equilibrium is a condition in which two opposing chemical reactions occur simultaneously at the same rate. Consider the elementary reaction A → B, the forward and reverse reactions are: Forward reaction: A → B rate forward Reverse reaction: B → A rate reverse As shown in the figure above, equilibrium is established when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. Thus, at equilibrium the f_____ reaction rate equals the r_____ reaction rate.
forward, reverse

For example, decreasing the pressure of a system at equilibrium will cause the system to shift in a direction that increases the total number of gas molecules. Increasing the volume of a system at equilibrium will cause the system to (increase, decrease) the total number of gas molecules.

increase
The most important factors affecting the reaction rate are: 1. Physical nature of the reactants 2. Temperature 3. Concentration of the reactants 4. Catalyst Increasing the temperature usually increases the reaction rate. Increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy or speed of the particles. Therefore, molecules at high temperature move faster than they do at low temperatures. When the reactant molecules move faster they have more collisions which increases the reaction rate. At room temperature, the rates of many chemical reactions will DOUBLE when the temperature is increased by 10oC. Increasing the temperature will (increase, decrease) the number of collisions between reactant molecules.

Le Chatelier's principle indicates that the system will respond by shifting its equilibrium position to reduce the increase in pressure. A system can reduce its pressure by reducing the total number of gas molecules. A reduction in the number of gas molecules will produce a (lower, higher) pressure.

For a reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide with a specific orientation. Consider the following reaction between molecules AB and CD: In this reaction, B and C exchange places to produce molecules AC and BD. Since B and C exchange places, the most favorable orientation would put A close to C and B close to D. This orientation is shown in Figure (a) below. As shown in (a) above, a reaction is (less, more) probable when A and C, and B and D are simultaneously close together.

An equilibrium system involving a pure solid does not shift if more solid is added. In general, adding or removing a species disturbs the equilibrium system only when the concentration of the species appears in the equilibrium expression. For example, consider the decomposition of calcium carbonate; Will adding or removing CaCO3 or CaO change the equilibrium position of the above reaction? (yes, no)
no
As shown in the figure below, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant in a system at equilibrium. These constant values of the reactant and product concentrations are used to calculate an equilibrium constant for the reaction.

It is important to note that only pressure changes caused by a volume change will affect the equilibrium position of a reaction. Pressure may be increased by the addition of a non-reacting gas, such as argon, to a reaction vessel. However, the addition does not alter the partial pressures of the gaseous mixture and therefore does not cause a shift in the equilibrium position. Will the addition of an inert gas cause a reaction to shift its equilibrium position? (yes, no)
no

It is practical to use these expensive catalysts because they are not consumed in the reaction and can be used over and over. Are catalysts consumed in a chemical reaction? (yes, no)
no
Not all reactions are Redox (oxidation-reduction) reactions. To be a redox reaction there needs to be an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent. In other words, something must be oxidized and something must be reduced. Are all reactions oxidation-reduction reactions? (yes, no)
no
Occasionally, reactions speed up when a substance other than one of the reactants is added to the mixture. These substances are called catalysts. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction but does not get consumed by the reaction. Is a catalyst consumed in a chemical reaction? (yes, no)
no
Oxidation and reduction processes ALWAYS occur together. You cannot have oxidation without reduction. If electrons are lost by one substance another substance has to gain the electrons. Electrons just don't disappear. Can oxidation occur without reduction? (yes, no)

no
We know that a catalyst increases the rate of a reaction. However, a catalyst does not change the equilibrium constant. This is understood when we remember that a catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction. The activation energy is lowered for the forward reaction but so is the activation energy for the reverse reaction. Thus, a catalyst speeds up the forward reaction and reverse reactions and therefore has no effect on the equilibrium constant. Does a catalyst affect the position of the equilibrium constant for a reaction? (yes, no)
no
You cannot predict how much the reaction rate will increase when the concentration is increased. The reaction rate usually increases but not to the same extent for different reactions. Sometimes the rate will double when the concentration is doubled but other times it may be more or it may be less. For example, steel wool burns with difficulty in air, which contains 20% oxygen, but bursts into a brilliant white flame in pure oxygen. Will the reaction rate for all chemical reactions increase the same amount when the concentration of reactants is increased? (yes, no)
no
For the above reaction, an increase in pressure results in decreased volume, andwill shift the reaction to the: (left, right, no change).

At equilibrium the ratio of the product and reactant concentrations is always equal to a constant value. Suppose we start with pure compound A in a closed container. As A reacts to form B, the concentration of A decreases and the concentration of B increases as shown in figure (a) below. As [A] decreases the rate of the forward reaction, Kf, decreases. Likewise, as [B] increase the rate of the reverse reaction, Kr, increases. These rate changes, Kf and Kr, are shown in figure (b). Do the concentrations [A] and [B] become equal? (no, yes) Do the forward rate Kf and the reverse rate Kr become equal? (no, yes)

An equilibrium constant can be used to qualitatively determine whether a particular reaction favors products or reactants. A large value of K (greater than 103) means that the numerical value of the numerator is significantly greater than the denominator.

Adding or removing a substance involved in a reaction will cause a change in concentration. Le Chatelier's principle predicts that the reaction will shift in a direction that minimizes the change in concentration. For example, if a gaseous reactant is added to a system, the equilibrium will shift in a direction (right) that consumes some of the added reactant. Likewise, if a gaseous product is added to system, the equilibrium will shift in a direction (left) that consumes the added product. Increasing the concentration of a reactant will shift the equilibrium to the (left, right).

Le Chatelier's principle can predict the effect of temperature changes on a reaction at equilibrium. A simple way to do this is to treat heat as a reactant or product. In an endothermic reaction heat is a reactant, whereas in an exothermic reaction heat is a product. Thus, when the temperature is increased the equilibrium position shifts in a direction that absorbs heat. Likewise, when the temperature is decreased the reaction shifts in a direction that produces heat. Cooling an exothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the (left, right).

Le Chatelier's principle predicts that a reaction will shift in a direction that minimizes a change in concentration. For example, if the concentration of a gaseous reactant is decreased, the equilibrium will shift in a direction (left) that will produce more of the reactant. Likewise, if a the concentration of a gaseous product is reduced, the equilibrium will shift in a direction (right) that produces more of the product. Decreasing the concentration of a product in a reaction will shift the equilibrium to the (left, right).

The melting of ice is an endothermic process. Ice (system) must absorb heat from the surroundings to melt. If you hold an ice cube in your hand (part of the surroundings) it feels cold. This is because the ice cube gains heat and your hand loses heat. Since your hand loses heat its temperature goes down and it feels cold. The effect of an endothermic or exothermic process is observed in the (system, surroundings).

An increase in temperature usually increases the rate of a reaction. For example, increasing the water temperature causes an increase in its evaporation rate which increases the equilibrium vapor pressure of the water. Thus, the equilibrium vapor pressure depends on the temperature. Equilibrium concentrations depend on the t______.
temperature
At equilibrium both evaporation and condensation are occurring at equal rates. However, when water is first put in a closed container there are very few water vapor molecules present as illustrated above. Therefore, the rate of evaporation exceeds the rate of condensation. With time, more of the water evaporates and the number of vapor molecules increases. The increasing water vapor concentration causes an increase in the rate of condensation. Eventually, the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of evaporation. Thus, we see that equilibrium does not occur immediately but requires time to established. It takes ___ to establish equilibrium.
