Factors Affectinf Rates Of Reaction Flashcards
What’s the four things rate of reaction depends on
Temperature
Surface area
Concentration
Whether a catalyst is used
When temperature increases what happens to the particles
The particles move faster
What happens when the particles move faster
They collide more often
Because increasing temperature leads to having more energy what happens
More collisions have enough energy to make the reaction happen
What happens if the solution is more concentrated
It has more particles
When the gas of concentration increases what happens
The same number of particles are in a smaller space
What happens if they are in a smaller space
Collisions between the reactant particles are more frequent
What is a catalyst
A substance that speeds up a reaction
