Unit 1 Flashcards
Rate of reaction
Change in quantity / time taken
reactions can be measure by changes in
concentration, mass and volume
or volume of gas produced
rate of reaction using time only
colour change eg
1/time unit:s-1
why must dry beaker be used?
keep concentration constant - water will dilute
keep total volume constant
collision theory
collide with each other with enough energy and correct geometry
particle size ror
smaller faster as greater surface area
temperature ror
heating gives them more energy - higher temp faster and more chance of collisions with enough energy
concentration and ror
more crowded the greater chance of collision - more conc faster reaction
Boltzmann energy distribution curve
show the number of particles in chemical reaction with increasing kinetic energy. Shows Ea
Ea
Minimum energy required by reactants to make products during chemical reaction
