EFFECT ON CONCENTRATION ON RATE OF REACTION Flashcards

1
Q

A

chemical reactions can only take place when the reacting particles collide with each other. The collisions must have sufficient energy

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
