Rates of Reaction Flashcards
How does Temperature increase the rate of reaction?
Higher Temperature = Higher kinetic energy and Thermal energy = More movement of particle = More chance for successful collision
How does Pressure increase the rate of reaction?
More pressure = Less space for particles to move away = More chance for successful collision
How does Concentration increase the rate of reaction?
More Concentration = More reactants to react with = More chance for successful collision
How does Surface area increase the rate of reaction?
More Surface area = more area for particles to react with = More chance for successful collision
What is an exothermic reaction?
It is an reaction that releases heat meaning its activation energy is lower than it releases
What is an endothermic reaction?
