Reaction Kinetics 05

Question 1

rate of reaction definition

Answer 1

change in concentration or product per unit time

Question 2

collision theory: conditions for a reaction to take place the reactant particles or molecules must:

Answer 2

1. collide
2. with sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy
3. in the correct orientation

Question 3

the rate of reaction depends on:

Answer 3

1. collision frequency

2. the proportion of particles have sufficient energy

Question 4

definition of activation energy

Answer 4

minimum energy that the reacting particles must possess in order to overcome the energy barrier before formulation of the products.
