Multiple Choice
When calcium reacts with water, the temperature changes from 18°C to 39°C. Which statement is correct?
The solution at the end is acidic
The reaction is reversible
The reaction is exothermic
The reaction is endothermic
5
Catalyst
any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed.
Examples: enzymes, metal or metal oxides (iron, platinum)
6
Reactant
Enzymes (catalyst)
Product
7
Sketch the energy level diagram for exothermic reactions
8
Catalyst/enzymes LOWERS THE ACTIVATION ENERGY
(the energy to start a reaction)

What are the advantages of using catalyst?
12
Open Ended
How could we find out the rate of reaction/ how fast a reaction is?
13
To find out the rate of reaction
1. time how quickly a product is made
2. time how quickly a reactant is used up
14
Catalytic converters
remove harmful gases
Platinum and rhodium in the converter remove oxides of nitrogen and convert them into nitrogen gas and oxygen gas.

catalyst
product
reactant
solute
18
Multiple Choice
How does a catalyst work in speeding up a reaction?
By lowering the activation energy or reaction
by giving them more energy
by making them more available
