Rate Flashcards
Increasing temperature
Increases kinetic energy of particles
Which will increase amount of successful collisions
And therefore rate of reaction increases
Increasing surface area
Increases number of reactant particles that are exposed
Which will increase the frequency of collisions
Increasing rate of reaction
Increasing concentration
Increases number of particles in a given volume
Which will increase the frequency of collisions
And increase rate of reaction
Collision theory
Particles must collide with each other in the right direction to react
Collisions must have enough energy to overcome the activation energy
Increasing pressure
Increases number of particles in a given volume
Increasing frequency of collisions and no. Successful collisions
Increasing rate of reaction
Using a catalyst
Lowers Ea and particles require less energy to successfully collide
Which will increase amount of successful collisions
Increasing rate of reaction
