Rates of reaction Flashcards
1
Q
factors (5)
A
temperature, pressure, surface area, concentration of reactants, catalyst.
2
Q
What is the activation energy
A
the minimum amount of energy needed to break bonds in reactants to cause collisions
3
Q
Catalysts ??? what do they do?? chemically??
A
lower activation energy
can be recovered chemically unchanged
4
Q
how is the rate of reaction measured?
5
A
- volume of gass evolved
- mass of reactants/products
- change in pH
- formation of precipitate
- change in color
