Q

What is a closed system?

A

No additional matter is allowed to enter or leave

17
Q

What four factor affect the rate of a chemical reaction?

A

The presence of a catalyst
The concentration of reactants
The temperature of the reactants
The surface area of the reactants

18
Q

What are catalysts?

A

Substances that help a reaction proceed faster. They are present with the reaction but are not consumed during the reaction

19
Q

How does the concentration help the rate of a chemical reaction?

A

The greater the concentration of the reactant the faster the reaction

20
Q

How does temperature affect the rate of a chemical reaction?

A

The more heat added to the reactants the faster the reaction. The heat causes the atoms to move faster increasing the chances of their colliding with each other.

21
Q

how does surface area affect the rate of a chemical reaction?

A

The greater surface area means more area is available for reaction
