KS4 Chemistry - Rates of Reaction

How does a catalyst work in speeding up a reaction?

• By lowering the activation energy or reaction

• by giving them more energy

• by making them more available

The following graph shows two different reaction pathways for the same overall reaction at the same temperature. Which pathway is slower and why?

• Red, because the activation energy is larger
• Blue, because the activation energy is lower
• both reaction progress at the same rate

• Particles move faster
• More particles collide in the correct orientation

Why does a higher concentration increase the rate of reaction?

• it increases the amount of reactants

• it lowers the activation energy

• it increases the energy of particle collisions

• it increases the frequency of particle collisions

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

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
