Rates Of Reaction Flashcards
High concentration
More collisions
Low concentration
Few collisions
Change in temperature
If temp is increased, reactant particles move more quickly, more particles have activation energy, particles collide more often-collisions result in reaction - RATE OF REACTION IS INCREASED
Exothermic reactions
Increase in temperature
TriangleH = -
Burning reactions include combustion of fuels
Bond forming
Endothermic reactions
Decrease in temp Ice melting, kettle boiling, Reactants gain energy Less common than Exothermic TriangleH= +
Activation energy
Energy needed to begin a reaction and break chemical bonds in the reaction
Catalysts
Not changed by the reaction
The same amount at the start and the end of a reaction
Help bonds break easily, less energy to react making reaction rate faster

Displacement reactions
A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from solutions of compounds
