Chemistry 6.1.5 Flashcards
What are the 4 Factors that Affect the Rate of Reaction? (4)
-Concentration / Pressure.
-Temperature.
-Surface Area.
-Catalyst.
Why is it Economically Important to have a Higher ROR?
Because it means that the Reaction is more Efficient, hence is more Sustainable.
Explain the Link between Concentration of a Solution & the ROR.
With Increased Concentration of a Solution, the Rate of Reaction will Increase. Concentration & ROR are Directly Proportional.
Explain the Link between Temperature & ROR.
Temperature & ROR are Directly Proportional.
Explain the Link between Surface Area of Solid Reactants & ROR.
The SA of Solid Reactants is Directly Proportional to the ROR.
Explain the Link between Catalyst Usage & ROR.
With a Catalyst, the ROR will Increase. Because it Provides an Alternate Pathway, with a Lower Activation Energy.
