Chapter 8 Flashcards
1
Q
Measuring the rate of reaction
A
Quantity of reactant used / time
OR
Quantity of product formed / time
OR
Use tangent
2
Q
Collision theory
A
For a chemical reaction to occur, the particles must collide with each other
3
Q
What effects the rate of reaction?
A
Temperature (raising kinetic energy)
Surface area of solids (more can react at the same time)
Concentration of solution (more to react)
Pressure of gas (collide more frequently)
Presence of a catalyst
4
Q
Activation energy
A
The minimum amount of energy that particles must have before they can react (catalysts lower the activation energy)
