Rates of Reaction

Rate of chemical reaction means

• amount of product formed
• speed of reaction
• concentration of reacting particles
• combining reactants with products

Which factors increase the rate of a reaction.

• increasing temperature
• increasing concentration
• increasing surface area
• all of these

Increase in temperature of the reactants can do one of the following

• Slow collision frequency
• Allow less effective collision between the particles
• Neutralise the reaction
• increase collision between the particles thus increasing the rate.

Why does a catalyst increase the rate of reaction?

• it produces extra energy for the reactants
• it increases the speed of the reactant particles
• it increases the frequency of particle collisions
• it reduces the activation energy of the reaction

Reactions that give out heat to the surrounding are classified as one of the following:

• Spontaneous
• Sluggish
• Exothermic
• Endothermic

You add more bodies into a "mosh pit" to hope for more collisions.  You have increased-

• temperature
• concentration
• pressure
• catalyst

You make a space much smaller hoping to increase the reaction rates.

• temperature
• concentration
• catalyst
• pressure

You double the electricity available to make the bumper cars go even faster hoping for more collisions.

• temperature
• pressure
• surface area
• concentration

You lower the high jump bar so everyone can get over it.

• temperature
• catalyst
• pressure
• surface area

Changes that involve the breaking of bonds and the formation of new substances.

• chemical changes
• physical changes
• state changes
• phase changes
