Chapter 5- Kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
What must happen for a reaction to occur
A
In order for a reaction to take place, reactants must collude with the correct orientation and energy greater than or equal to the activation energy
2
Q
What factors affect rate of reaction
A
Temperature-more have energy
Concentration-more particles per unit area
Pressure-same as conc
Surface area- More particles can be collided with
Catalysts-lowers activation energy
3
Q
What does a Maxwell boltzmann distribution curve show
A
the energy of particles in an area
