Section 13.2- Concentration, Temperature, and Reaction Rate Flashcards
an increase in the concentration of reacting particles ___________ the rate of reaction by ________________ the number of collisions in a given time
increases rate of reaction
increases number of collisions
if the reactants are NOT IN THE SAME PHASE, the reaction rate depends on the
area of contact between the phases
a general rule of thumb is that for every _________________ rise in temperature, the reaction rate will double
10 C
there is a minimum energy that a molecule must possess if it is to react and do molecules damage; this MINIMUM ENERGY is the
activation energy
increase in concentration, ______ in reaction rate
increase
increase in temperature = _________________ reaction rate
INCREASE
amount of energy required for reaction to take place
activation energy
