1.

  • Is the study of the speed with which a chemical reaction occurs and the factors that affect this speed. 



(a)  

2.

  • The relative speed of progress or change.



(a)  

3.
  • When we speak of the rate of a chemical reaction, we mean how fast/slow a given reaction occurs. 

a)

True

b)

False

4.

The speed of a reaction is called the (a)   of the reaction.

5.

  • Reactions take place when particles of reactants collide with a certain amount of energy. 



(a)  

6.

Is the required energy to overcome for reactions to occur

(a)  

7.

Which statement is correct?

a)

Higher activation energy = easier to happen

b)

Higher activation energy = nothing happens

c)

Higher activation energy = everything explodes

d)

Higher activation energy = harder to happen

8.

What does it mean when there's a lower activation energy?

a)

it means things are harder to happen

b)

it means things are easier to happen

c)

it means the world will end

d)

skibidi

9.

The rate of a reaction depends on:

a)

the frequency

b)

the energy

c)

the power

d)

the temperature

10.

Select the factors that speed up reactions

a)

increased temperature

b)

increased concentration

c)

increased pressure

d)

use of catalyst

11.

The higher the temperature = particles have more energy. Meaning they move faster and are more likely to collide with other particles. 

a)

True

b)

False

12.

Particles collide with more energy.

More energy = increased number of collisions

a)

True

b)

False

13.
  • The higher the concentration of a dissolved reactant, the faster the rate of reaction.

a)

True

b)

False

14.
  • Higher concentration → less particles in the small amount of space → least likely to collide with other particles 

a)

True

b)

False

15.
  • Increased pressure → space where the gas particles are moving becomes smaller.

a)

True

b)

False

16.
  • Increased pressure has the same number of particles but in a smaller space.

a)

True

b)

False

17.

  • Particles become closer together, increasing the (a)   , and so increasing the rate of reaction. 

18.
  • Any reaction involving a solid can only take place at the surface of the solid. 

a)

True

b)

False

19.
  • If the solid split into several pieces → surface area increases

  • *meaning there’s an increased area for the non-solid reactant particles to collide with. 


a)

True

b)

False

20.
  • The smaller the pieces → the larger the surface area

*meaning more collisions and a faster rate of reaction. 

a)

True

b)

False

21.

(a)   are substances that change the rate of a reaction without being used up in the reaction. 

22.

(a)   provide an alternative route with a lower activation energy. 

23.
  • Adding a pressure gives the reaction an alternative and easier way for it to happen – involving a lower activation energy. 

a)

True

b)

False
