Q

what happens as temperature increases?

A

-the amount of energy a particle has increases
-the faster the particle moves around
-the more likely particles are to collide
(all of these things lead to a increase in the rate of reaction)

17
Q

what is temperature a measure of?

A

it is a measure of the average kinetic energy

18
Q

what do all chemical reactions produce?

A

new substances

19
Q

how can you find the speed of a reaction?

A

by measuring how fast the new substance is formed

20
Q

how much of the graph paper must you use?

A

more than half

21
Q

what is a catalyst?

A

a catalyst is a substance which speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but can be recovered chemically unchanged at the end of a reaction.
