Faster Collisions Increase the Rate of Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
What do higher temps also increase and why?
A
The energy of the collisions - it makes all the particles move faster
2
Q
Faster Collins are only caused by…
A
Increasing the temp
3
Q
When will reactions only happen in terms of particles?
A
If the particles collide with enough energy
4
Q
What will there be at a higher temp?
A
More particles colliding with enough energy to make the reaction happen - more successful collisions
5
Q
What is this initial energy know as?
A
The activation energy
6
Q
Why is the activation energy needed?
A
To break the initial bonds
