A
Reactant particles must collide with each other and collisions must have enough energy to
2
Q
What is the activation energy of a reaction?
A
Minimum energy needed by reactant particles for a reaction to happen
3
Q
What does a successful collision have?
A
Activation energy
4
Q
Why would the rate of reaction increase?
A
If concentration of a dissolved reactant increases or
if the pressure of a reacting gas increases or
If temperature increases
If the surface area: volume ration increases
