10
Q
rate of reaction variables
A
temp. , surface area, catalysts, concentration(pressure)
11
Q
rate of reaction: tempurature effects
A
increased KE of particles
more frequent collisions
more sucsessful collisions
12
Q
rate of reaction: concentration effects
A
more particles per area unit
more frequent collisions
13
Q
rate of reaction: surface area effects
A
more particles exposed
more frequent collisions
14
Q
rate of reaction: catalysts effect
A
lowers activation energy
