Name two ways rates of reaction can be measured
1. The rate at which a reactant is used up 2. The rate at which products are formed
1 of 11
Name 5 factors that can affect the rate of reaction
temperatyre, concentration, pressure of reacting gasses, surface area of reacting solids and the use of catalyst
2 of 11
Name 5 ways to speed up the rate of reaction
Increase preddure of reacting gas, break solid reactants down in to smaller pieces, use a catalyst, increase temperature and increase concentration
3 of 11
COLLISIONS AND REACTIONS- How does increasing the concentration or pressure increase the rate of reaction? Name 2 ways
More reactant particles in the same volume, greater chance of particles colliding
4 of 11
COLLISIONS AND REACTIONS- How does increasing the particle size increase the rate of reaction? Name 3 ways
SUrface area is increased, more particles exposed to other reactants, greater change of particle colliding
5 of 11
COLLISIONS AND REACTIONS- What is activation energy?
The minimum energy needed for particles to react
6 of 11
COLLISIONS AND REACTIONS- How does increasing the temperature increase the rate of reaction? Name 2 ways
More particles have activation energy and reactant particles move more quickly
7 of 11
Why are catalysts important in industry?
To reduce costs
8 of 11
What do catalysts do to the rate of reaction and how do they do it?
Increase rates of reaction without being used up , do this by lowering activation energy
9 of 11
What is the purpose of a catalyst?
To increase the rate of reaction- It causes more collisions
10 of 11
COLLISIONS AND REACTIONS- What needs to happen for a reaction to occur?
Reactants need to collide
