Q

How does temperature affect the rate of a chemical reaction?

A

Higher temperature = increased rate of reaction

Temperature increases the rate of reaction because it increases the amount of energy the particles have therefore they move faster so more successful collisions can occur.

Q

How does concentration affect the rate of reaction?

A

Higher concentration = increased rate of reaction

If the concentration is increased, there are more atoms present and therefore more successful collisions can occur.

Q

How does particle size affect the rate of a chemical reaction?

A

Smaller particle size = increased rate of reaction

Reducing the particle size means that the surface area is increased therefore successful collisions will happen more frequently.

Q

How does a catalyst affect the rate of a chemical reaction?

A

Catalyst increases rate of reaction.

They provide an ALTERNATIVE ROUTE for the reaction to occur which allows the reaction to take place with a LOWER ACTIVATION ENERGY therefore at a lower temperature.

Q

What is the difference between a heterogeneous and a homogeneous catalyst?

A

A homogeneous catalyst is a catalyst that is in the SAME state of matter as the reactants.

A heterogeneous catalyst is a catalyst that is in a DIFFERENT state of matter than the reactants.

Q

Name three properties of a catalyst

A
  • Increase the rate of a chemical reaction.
  • They are NOT used up in a chemical reaction - they remain unchanged.
  • They save energy and money.
