C6 Summary Notes

        RATE OF REACTION

• This how fast reactants turn into products (moles [M])

• On a graph, a steep gradient = fast reaction, shallow gradient = slow reaction, and when the line becomes stationary it means all the reactions have been used up.

• Activation energy is the energy required to start the reaction.

• Powders have a larger surface area.

• cm2/s  g/s  mol/s

Factors that affect the rate of reactions:

• Temperature increase

• Particles have…
