Kinetics Quiz Practice

Which of the following are needed for a reaction to occur?

• Particles need to collide.

• Particles need to be orientated correctly.

• Particles need a minimum amount of energy to make/break bonds.

• Particles can only interact with themselves.

Given reactions A & B (assuming the particles are colliding and orientated correctly) which reaction will occur at a faster rate and why?

• A. At lower temperatures more energy is conserved and not lost to moving around.

• A. Particles have less heat/energy and will less likely miss a collision.

• B. Particles are reacting in a smaller volume with a higher chance of collision.

• B. Particles have more heat/energy to make/break bonds.
