Rates of Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
What are the requirements for a chemical reaction to occur?
A
particles need to collide with each other in the:
- correct orientation
- with enough energy
2
Q
What is the activation energy in a reaction?
A
energy needed to be overcome for the reaction to proceed
3
Q
The more energy input the particles have, the more likely the collision will ______ as it has ____ the activation energy
A
succeed, overcome
4
Q
What is the rate of reaction?
A
Rate at which reactants are converted to products
5
Q
What are the 4 factors that influence the rate of reaction?
A
temperature, concentration, surface area and catalysts
these factors either increase the amount of collisions (temp, concentration, s.a) or activation energy needed (catalysts)
