Rates of reaction Flashcards
1
Q
Definition of activation energy
A
The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur. This means the reactant molecules have enough kinetic energy to collide successfully.
2
Q
Definition of Orientation
A
The collision between atoms during a chemical reaction
3
Q
What can be done to increase the rate of reaction?
A
- increase the concentration of a reactant
- increase the temperature of a reactant
- increase the surface area of a reactant
- add catalyst to the reaction
4
Q
what is Surface Area
A
The surface area is the total space of what an object occupies
5
Q
What is the equation to find the average rate of reaction?
A
the change of concentration divided by the change of time
