Topic 4: Reaction Rate And Collision Theory Flashcards
The weaker the bonds to be broken, the _____ the reaction.
Faster
Which bonds are stronger: Covalent or ionic?
Covalent
Aqueous: high or low reaction rate?
High (fewer bonds to break)
Gaseous: high or low reaction rate?
High (constant motion, collisions likely to occur)
Solids: high or low reaction rate?
Low (little energy, high IMFs)
Higher temperatures = ______ energy = ______ motion = _______ collisions = _______ reaction rate
More energy
More motion
More (successful) collisions
Higher reaction rate
What changes: the activation energy level, or the number or particles able to reach that level?
Number of particles
High concentration = more particles = _______ collisions, = _______ particles with the required activation energy
More collisions
More particles
Do catalysts take part in a reaction?
No!
Pressure changes only affect _______.
GASES
