C8 - Rate Of Reaction Flashcards
What is the rate of reaction
The rate of which reactants turn into products
How to find out the rate of a chemical reaction
You can find out how quickly
- The reactants were used up in the reaction
- The products that were made from the reaction
Reactions are more like to happen if
Increase the frequency of the particles
Increase the energy while they have to collide
(You can do these both by increasing the temp)
Can particles react before colliding
No. They must have a minimum amount of energy between them to react
Function of catalysts
Speeds up the rate of reaction
The greater the temperature, the greater (finish the sentence)
The rate of reaction
Activation energy
The minimum energy needed for a reaction to take place
