Collision Theory Flashcards
1
Q
What does the rate of reaction depend on?
A
Collision frequency
More successful collisions
Energy transfer (when particles have enough energy to collide successfully)
2
Q
What can increase the rate of successful collisions?
A
- Increasing the temperature
- Increasing the concentration
- More surface area
3
Q
Why does increasing the temperature increase the amount of successful collisions?
A
It means that they have more kinetic energy, this means more collisions would happen with greater force.
4
Q
How does increasing the concentration increase the amount of successful collisions?
A
It increases the amount of particles which increases the chances of collisions
5
Q
How does more surface area increase the amount of successful collisions?
A
Particles around it will have more area to work it so more collisions would happen
