The rate and extent of chemical change Flashcards
1
Q
what factors effect the rates of chemical reaction?
A
•the concentration of reactants in a solution
•the pressure of reacting gases
•the surface area of solid reactants
•the temperature and presence of catalysts
2
Q
what’s collision theory?
A
it explains how various factors effect rates of reactions.
chemical reactions can occur only when reacting particles collide with each other and with sufficient e
3
Q
what are catalysts
A
catalysts increase the rate of reaction by providing a different pathway for the reaction that has a lower activation energy
