Rates Flashcards
Factors affecting the rate
Concentration or pressure
Temperature
Surface area
Catalyst
Temperature on rate of reaction
More kinetic energy and therefore there will be more successful collisions
Concentration on rate of reaction
More crowded acid particles
Surface area on rate of reaction
More particles on surface area
Catalyst on rate of reaction
Lower activation energy by offering it an alternative route
(Equilibrium) temperature
Try and reduce it
(Equilibrium) concentration
Try and get rid of some
(Equilibrium) pressure
Try and reduce it
(Equilibrium) pressure
Increasing pressure shifts the equilibrium to the side with the fewest molecule
(Equilibrium) increasing temp
Shifts to endothermic direction
(Equilibrium) decreasing temp
Shifts equilibrium to exothermic direction
(Equilibrium) increasing concentration
One of the reactants sends the equilibrium towards the opposite side
(Equilibrium) decreasing concentration
One of the reactants send the equilibrium towards the same side
