Key words for reactions and practical work
Across
- 3. the number of particles per unit volume
- 5. the number of collisions taking place per unit time
- 6. a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction but remains chemically unchanged itself at the end of the reaction
- 8. has a value represented by words, shown with a line graph
- 9. the variable that you change or measure
- 13. a collision between particles that leads to a reaction
- 15. a measurement close to the true value
- 17. an explanation of chemical reactions in terms of reacting particles colliding with sufficient energy for a reaction to take place
- 18. the amount of product formed, or reactant used up, over time
- 19. a variable that must not change during an experiment, otherwise, the results are invalid
- 20. a poor measurement, usually seen as an anomalous result
Down
- 1. the ‘exterior’ of a solid that can react with other substances
- 2. the minimum energy needed for a reaction to take place. Often shortened to Ea
- 4. a collision between particles that does not lead to a reaction
- 7. has a value represented by numbers, shown with a bar chart
- 10. the variable that you measure
- 11. a result that is clearly different from the expected pattern
- 12. measurements in which there is very little spread about the mean value
- 14. a problem with the apparatus as the results are precise, but not accurate
- 16. 1/s
- 18. if another person repeats your experiment in the same way, or if you repeat using different equipment or techniques and the same results are obtained
- 20. if you repeat your experiment using the same method and equipment and obtain the same results
