When we investigate the rate of reaction we are looking at the...

• amount of product formed

• speed of reaction

• concentration of reacting particles

• combining reactants with products

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
