4.3 The Effect Of Temperature Flashcards
1
Q
At ordinary temperatures, how does increasing the temp by 10* affect the rate of reaction?
A
It double the number of reactions in a given time
2
Q
At ordinary temperatures, how does decreasing the temp by 10* affect the rate of reaction?
A
It halves the number of reactions in a given time.
3
Q
Why does a small change in temp have a large effect on the rate of reaction?
A
It increases the frequency of collisions and the energy of the particles
4
Q
What does a higher temperature bring to the rate of reaction? Why?
A
It brings a more energy for the particles in the reaction so they move faster and collide more often and with more energy which both increase the rate of reaction
