4
Q

pressure collision theory

A

-a higher pressure of gas,caused by the decreased volume of a container, results in a greater number of particles per unit volume
-this causes an increase in the number of collisions between reactant particles per unit time
-and therefore there is an increase in the number of effective collisions per unit time,
-an effective collision being one that has the correct orientation + sufficient kinetic energy (Ek >= Ea)
-This leads to a higher reaction rate

Q

surface area collision theory

A

-an increase in surface area means a greater number of surface particles are exposed to collisions
-this causes an increase in the no. of collisions between reactant particles per unit time,
-and therefore there is an increase in the no. of effective collisions per unit time,
-an effective collision being one that has the correct orientation and sufficient kinetic energy (Ek>=Ea)
-This leads to a higher reaction rate.

Q

increase concentration result

A

there is no increase in fraction of particles in the sample with sufficient kinetic energy, equal to or greater than activation energy
There is a bulk increase in the number of particles, and therefore an increase in the number of particles capable of having effective collisions

Q

concentration collision theory

A

-An increased concentration of solution leads to a greater number of particles per unit volume( c=n/v)
-this causes an increase in the no. of collisions between reactant particles per unit time,
-and therefore there is an increase in the no. of effective collisions per unit time,
-an effective collision being one that has the correct orientation and sufficient kinetic energy (Ek>=Ea)
-This leads to a higher reaction rate.

Q

ways catalyst works

A

-lowers activation energy
-aids correct orientation and facilitates chance of reaction
-bonds to one of reactants, changes bonding- weakens forces w/in temporary transition state, making it easier for other reactant to bond, then catalyst removed

13
Q

catalyst collision theory

A

-a catalyst offers a reaction pathway of lower activation energy
-there is thus a greater proportion of particles w sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy (refer to maxwell -boltzman distribution curve)
-and therefore there is an increase in the no. of effective collisions per unit time,
-an effective collision being one that has the correct orientation and sufficient kinetic energy (Ek>=Ea)
-This leads to a higher reaction rate.

16
Q

temperature collision theory

A

-A higher temperature means that particles move w/greater velocity and have a greater average kinetic energy
-the effect of this is 2-fold
-minor: there is an increase in the no. of collisions per unit time
-major- there is a greater proportion of particles w/ sufficient Ek to overcome Ea
-and therefore there is an increase in the no. of effective collisions per unit time,
-an effective collision being one that has the correct orientation and sufficient kinetic energy (Ek>=Ea)
-This leads to a higher reaction rate.

17
Q

reaction rate

A

the change in amount or concentration per unit time of either a reactant or product
directly proportional to no. of effective collisions per unit time

18
Q

molecular collision theory

A

3.2reactant particles must collide with or have sufficient kinetic energy for successful collision. only those collisions with sufficient potential and kinetic energy equivalent to that of the activated complex will be successful, allowing for
-enough energy to break bonds OR
-gain enough energy to form activated complex OR
-activated complex is at a higher energy and is unstable

19
Q

what factors affect the rate of chemical reactions

A

the nature of reacting substances, SA of a solid, concentration of a soln, pressure of gas, catalyst and temp.

20
Q

what is the collision theory

A

model that explains that a reaction will only proceed when reactant particles collide effectively

21
Q

reaction rate relationship

A

reaction rate is directly proportional to the no. of effective collisions per unit time

22
Q

reverse reaction

A

A reaction that proceeds from the products to the reactants (using the same balanced equation).
