Q
calculation for rate of reaction
A
rate of reaction =change in conc/ time
2
Q
what needs to happen for a reaction
A
meets activation energy
right orientation
3
Q
steric factor
A
when shape of molecules influence reactions
4

maxwell boltsman distribution curves
A
5
Q
catalyst
A
provides alternate route for reaction with lower activation energy
6
Q
heterogenous catalysts
A
different phase to the reactants
increases forward and backward rate
porous material increasing the surface area
