Rates of reaction

?
What four factors affect rates of reaction
temperature, concentration, surface area and a catalyst
1 of 8
What do chemical reactions depend on
successful collisions of the reactants
2 of 8
How does a high temperature increase the rate of reaction
The patricles have more kinetic energy so there will be a higher frequency of successful collisions
3 of 8
How does an increased surface area increase the rate of reaction
There are more particles exposed at one time so a higher frequency of successful collisions
4 of 8
How does the concentration effect the rate of reaction
The higher the concentration the more particles there are so a higher frequency of successful collisions
5 of 8
How does a catalyst speed up the rate of reaction
It puts the particles under more pressure to collide so a higher frequency of successful collisions
6 of 8
What does a catalytic converter do
Converts harmful gases in a car to cleaner gases like carbon dioxide and water vapour
7 of 8
When does a catalytic converter work best
When it is hot and has a large surface area
