For a chemical reaction to occur the reacting particles must collide into each other with sufficient kinetic energy and with the correct alignment.
1 of 10
What occurs when you increase the concentration?
Increasing concentration, increases the rate of reaction. There are more reacting particles in a given volume so more collisions can take place.
2 of 10
What occurs when pressure is increased?
Increasing pressure, increases rate of reaction. There are more reacting particles in a given volume.
3 of 10
What occurs when surface area is increased?
Increasing surface area, increases rate of reaction. There is a larger number of particles on the surface of the solid that are able to take part in collisions.
4 of 10
What occurs when temperature is increased?
Increasing temperature, increases rate of reaction. Particles will have a greater kinetic energy so collision between reacting particles are more likely to be successful.

How do you measure the relative rate of reaction?
1 / time taken for reaction

What does a potential energy diagram show?
It shows the energy pathway for a chemical reaction, how the potential energy changes as the reactants change into products.

What is enthalpy?
Enthalpy (H) is a measure of the chemical potential energy obtained in a substance.
8 of 10
How do you calculate enthalpy change?
ΔH = HP - HR

What is an exothermic reaction?
Chemical potential energy is changed into heat. Energy is released to the surroundings.
