Kinetics

By Adam Woelfle

What is Kinetics?

Kinetics is the study of the rate or speed at which reactions occur.

​

​

A reaction is the breaking and reforming of bonds to make new products.​

​

​

​

In order for a reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide.

Collision Theory

​

Open Ended

When putting legos together, what do you need to be sure of for them to actually fit together?

Collision Theory

Particles must collide with the following

Proper Amount of Energy​

​

Proper Orientation​/ alignment / direction

​

*When these two conditions are met, there will be an Effective Collision​

Multiple Select

What are some things we could change to speed up/slow down reactions.

(Select all that apply)

• Concentration

• Pressure

• Temperature

• Surface Area

• Add a Catalyst

This factor we really can't change if we have a set reaction type.
