Rate Of Reaction Flashcards
Rate formula:
Rate= Change in concentration
➗ Time
What does ‘more concentrated mean’?
Means there are more particles of acid per unit volume.
For a reaction to happen particles…
…have to collide
The more collisions there are and the harder the collisions are between particles…
…the faster the rate
What is the ‘minimum energy’ a particle needs to start a reaction called?
Activation energy
How rate of reaction varies with temperature- increasing temperature…
➡️particles move faster
➡️more collisions
➡️harder collisions
=reactions happens faster
Symbols-
➡️aq
➡️g
➡️s
➡️dissolved
➡️gas
➡️solid
Effective 4 collisions (collisions that cause reactions):
➡️temperature
➡️surface area
➡️concentration
➡️pressure of gas & catalyst
Factors effecting rate-
Reactants are used up as they make products.
What is a catalyst-
It helps speed up/start a reaction
