rates of reaction Flashcards
1
Q
what factors can affect the rate of reaction?
A
temperature, concentration/pressure, presence or absence of a catalyst
2
Q
what is collision theory?
A
for particles to react they have to collide with each other with enough energy (activation energy)
3
Q
what is the rate of reaction?
A
the speed it takes reactants to turn into products
4
Q
what is the equation for the mean rate of reaction?
A
quantity of reactant used/product formed
time taken
