1.

What criteria must be met for reactant collisions to result in a successful product?

a)

The reactants must collide with each other

b)

The reactants must collide with enough energy and be in the right positions

c)

The reactants must have enough energy to form the activated complex

2.
The collisions which bring about a chemical reaction are called: 
a)
Consistent collisions
b)
 Normal collisions 
c)
Effective collisions 
d)
None of the above
3.
More collisions correspond to a: 
a)
Faster reaction rate  
b)
Slower reaction rate
c)
Constant reaction rate 
d)
None of the above
4.
Which of the following is/are the fundamental idea(s) of collision theory?
a)
Molecules react by colliding together
b)
The effective collisions must occur with certain minimum amounts of energy 
c)
In a large sample, the greater the number of effective collisions, and the faster the rate of reaction
d)
All of the above
5.
Which factors increase the rate of a reaction.
a)
increasing temperature
b)
increasing concentration
c)
increasing surface area
d)
all of these
6.
Increase in temperature of the reactants can do one of the following
a)
Slow collision frequency
b)
Allow less effective collision between the particles
c)
Neutralise the reaction
d)
increase collision between the particles thus increasing the rate.
7.
Why does a higher temperature increase the rate of a reaction?
a)
it increases both the frequency and energy of particle collisions
b)
it only increases the frequency of particle collisions
c)
it only increases the energy of particle collisions
d)
it reduces the activation energy of the reaction
8.

How could we make this reaction happen more quickly?

a)

Decrease the concentration of the acid

b)

crush the chalk to increase the surface area

c)

Put the test tube in an ice bath

9.

When surface area is decreased the rate of reaction...

a)

Decreases, because there are LESS possible sites for correct collisions

b)

Increases, because there are LESS possible sites for correct collisions

c)

Decreases, because there are MORE possible sites for correct collisions

d)

Increases, because there are MORE possible sites for correct collisions

10.

collide higher

d)

in the right order

12.

How does a catalyst work in speeding up a reaction?
