Chapter 10 Flashcards
1
Q
Rate of reaction
A
How fast a reactant is being used up/ product is being formed
2
Q
Rate=
A
Change in concentration/ time
3
Q
Collision theory-
A
Two reacting particles must collide in the correct orientation and have sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy for a reaction to occur
4
Q
What is the effect of concentration
A
Increase in concentration increases rate of reaction as it increases the number of particles in the same volume so they collide more frequently
5
Q
What is the effect of pressure
A
Concentration of gas molecules increases as the same number occupy a smaller volume leading to more frequent collisions and an increased reaction rate
