Kinetics Flashcards
What are the four things that affect rate of reaction
Temperature
Surface area to volume ratio
Catalyst
Concentration
How does temperature affect the rate of reaction
Increases the kinetic energy of the particles and e frequency of successful collisions
How does concentration affect the rate of reaction
More particles so increased frequency of collisions
How does a catalyst affect ate of reaction
Lowers the activation energy so less is needed for the reaction
Where does the graph start for the maxwell Boltzmann disrtubution
From 0,0- the origin
What does the graph not do at the end
Never touches
Four things that affect rte of reaction
Temp
Surface area
Conc
Catalyst
What does a catalyst do
Speeds up a chemical reaction by offering an alternative route without being used up
