reaction rate, collision theory & activation energy Flashcards
1
Q
under what conditions only do reactions take place?
A
when collisions between particles have sufficient energy
2
Q
what are energy used for in collisions?
A
used to break relevant bonds in reactant molecules
3
Q
what is the definition of activation energy?
A
minimum energy which particles need to collide to start a reaction
4
Q
what is the initial rate?
A
rate at the start of reaction
5
Q
how could reaction rates be calculated?
A
drawing tangents
