Lecture 6

Question 1

Rate of reaction DEF

Answer 1

The change in concentration per unit time of any reactant or product.

Question 2

Collision theory - rate of reaction

Answer 2

1. The reacting particles must collide with eachother
2. Collision results in product formation only if a certain minimum energy is exceeded- effective collision

Question 3

Activation energy DEF

Answer 3

The minimum energy which colliding particles must have before a reaction can occur.
