Reaction Kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
What is the effect of using crushed particles rather than cubes on rate of reaction?
A
Increases the surface area to volume ratio meaning there is a large area for more successful collisions and it takes less time to break down completely.

Q
What is the effect of increasing concentration on rate of reaction?
A
More particles occupy the same volume meaning particles are more likely to collide with each other successfully to react because there are more than less free space to move into
