how can you measure the rate of a reaction?
the rate a reactant is used up, or the rate a product is made
1 of 13
what effects the rate of a reaction?
temperature, concentration pressure of gasses, surface area of reacting solids, catalsyt
2 of 13
when can chemical reactions occur?
when particles collide with enough energy
3 of 13
what does a low rate of reaction suggest?
the reaction is slow
4 of 13
what does a fast reaction have?
a high reaction rate
5 of 13
what should be measured when working out the ROR?
the volume of gas, the mass of substance
6 of 13
formula for rate of reaction...
amount of reactant used/amount of product formed,divided by time taken
7 of 13
what happens when the temperature is increased?
the ROR speeds up
8 of 13
what happens when the concentration of a reactant is decreased?
the ROR is decreased
9 of 13
what do you do to the pressure to increase ROR?
increase it
10 of 13
soild reactants can be ........ to increase ROR
broken up
11 of 13
what does a catalyst do?
speeds up a reaction-ROR increases
12 of 13
what does activation energy mean?
the minimum amount of energy particles need to collide
