Calculating rates of reaction
Calculating rates of reaction
1 of 19
What is the equation for the rate of chemical reaction (1):
Rate = quantity of reactant used/ time taken
2 of 19
What is the equation for the rate of chemical reaction (2):
Rate = quantity of product formed/ time taken
3 of 19
What can the quantity of reactant or product be measured by?
Mass in grams or volume in cm3
4 of 19
What is the units for rate of reaction in moles?
Moles per second (mol/s)
5 of 19
Factors which affect the rates of chemical reactions
Factors which affect the rates of chemical reactions
6 of 19
Give 1 factor that affects the rate of reactions and explain how:
Temperature- the higher the temperature, the quicker the rate of reaction
7 of 19
Give 1 factor that affects the rate of reactions and explain how:
Concentration- the higher the concentration, the quicker the rate of reaction
8 of 19
Give 1 factor that affects the rate of reactions and explain how:
Surface area- the larger the surface area of a reactant solid, the quicker the rate of reaction
9 of 19
Give 1 factor that affects the rate of reactions and explain how:
Pressure (of gases)- When gases react, the higher the pressure upon them, the quicker the rate of reaction

Collision theory and activation energy
Collision theory and activation energy
11 of 19
According to collision theory when can chemical reactions only occur?
When reacting particles collide with each other with sufficient energy
12 of 19
What is activation energy?
This is the minimum amount of energy colliding particles in a reaction need in order to react
13 of 19
By increases the temperature, what happens?
It increases the frequency of collisions and makes the collisions more energetic, therefore increasing the rate of reaction
14 of 19
By increases the concentration, pressure and surface area what happens?
It increases the frequency of collisions, therefore increasing the rate of reaction

Catalysts
Catalysts
16 of 19
What does a catalyst do?
A catalyst changes the rate of a chemical reaction but is not used in the reaction
17 of 19
What are enzymes?
These are biological catalysts
18 of 19
How do catalysts increse the rate of reaction?
Catalysts provide a different reaction pathway where reactants do not require as much energy to react when they collide
