EFFECT ON CONCENTRATION ON RATE OF REACTION Flashcards
1
Q
define Collison theory
A
chemical reactions can only take place when the reacting particles collide with each other. The collisions must have sufficient energy
2
Q
what is the rate of a chemical reaction determined by
A
the frequency of successful collisions per unit time
3
Q
what happens to the rate of reaction if you increase the concentration of particles
A
increasing the number of particles means there are more in a given volume
so they are more successful collisions per unit time so the rate of reaction increases
RATE IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE CONCENTRATION
