13D - Collision Theory Flashcards
1
Q
Def: Collision theory states 3 things:
A
- Molecules must physicallt collide
- Collision must be be with suff energy to break bonds
- Collisions must have correct spatial orientation
2
Q
Def: What is activation energy?
A
Minimum amount of energy for rxn to occur. Diff btw rxn energy and transition state on graph.
3
Q
Theory: The more _ in a system, the more likely eff col occurs.
A
Energy
4
Q
Def: Arrhenius eqx?
A
k = A*e^(-E_a/RT)
A is the freq factor of eff collisions
