AQA - Rates of Reactions

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

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

• temperature
• concentration
• catalyst
• pressure

NGSS.HS-PS1-5

Which of the following increase the reaction rate?

• less surface area
• lower temperature
• an inhibitor
• increased concentration

Why don't all collisions between particles cause a reaction?

• the particles also need to collide with a catalyst
• not all the particles collide with enough energy
• not all the particles collide at a high enough temperature
• the particles need to collide with each other twice

Why does a higher temperature increase the rate of a reaction?

• it increases both the frequency and energy of particle collisions
• it only increases the frequency of particle collisions
• it only increases the energy of particle collisions
• it reduces the activation energy of the reaction

B represents

• energy absorbed
• energy released
• activation energy

To slow down a chemical reaction you will do one of the following:

• Place the reactants in hot water
• Place the products in ice bath
• Place the reactants in a ice bath
• Keep stirring the reactants with a stirring rod
