2.

A temperature increase causes the particles ......

a)

to slow down

b)

move faster

c)

collide higher

d)

in the right order

3.

How does a catalyst work in speeding up a reaction?

a)

By lowering the activation energy or reaction

b)

by giving them more energy

c)

by making them more available

4.
The following graph shows two different reaction pathways for the same overall reaction at the same temperature. Which pathway is slower and why?
a)
Red, because the activation energy is larger
b)
Blue, because the activation energy is lower
c)
both reaction progress at the same rate
5.
What does NOT happen when the temperature is increased?
a)
Particles collide more often
b)
Particles collide with more energy
c)
Particles move faster
d)
More particles collide in the correct orientation
6.

Why does a higher concentration increase the rate of reaction?

a)

it increases the amount of reactants

b)

it lowers the activation energy

c)

it increases the energy of particle collisions

d)

it increases the frequency of particle collisions

7.
What makes an effective collision?
a)
When molecules collide.
b)
When molecules collide with the proper orientation.
c)
When molecules collide with proper orientation and enough kinetic energy.
d)
High Temperature.
8.
Why don't all collisions between particles cause a reaction?
a)
the particles also need to collide with a catalyst
b)
not all the particles collide with enough energy
c)
not all the particles collide at a high enough temperature
d)
the particles need to collide with each other twice
9.
What is the rate of reaction?
a)
How fast a reaction is 
b)
How big a reaction is

13.
Hydrochloric acid can react with sodium thiosulfate solution to form a sulfur precipitate. The equation is:
Na2S2O3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) → 2S(s) + SO2(g) + 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
In a second experiment, an extral 50 mL of water is added to the hydrochloric acid. As a result of this change, the
a)
rate of evolution of the sulfur dioxide decreases
b)
precipitate will form more quickly
c)
more fruitful collision will occur 
d)
reaction will not be affected because water is not a reactant
14.
Which of the following would increase the INITIAL reaction rate between 5.0 g aluminium and 20.0 mL of 1.00 M hydrochloric acid?
a)
Conducting the experiment in a 50 mL beaker rather than a 100 mL beaker. 
b)
Using a larger volume of acid.
c)
Cleaning the surface of the metal with sandpaper.
d)
Increasing the pressure under which the experiment was conducted.
15.

define rate of reaction?

a)

The change in concentration of reactants or products per time unit.

b)

The change in volume of products multiplied by the change in volume of reactants.

c)

The change of products over the change of reactants.

d)

How much the reactants react in a given time unit.
