C6 - The Rate and Extent of Chemical Change Flashcards
1
Q
What is the rate of a reaction?
A
How fast the reactants are changed into products.
2
Q
If the reaction time graph is steep, what is the rate of reaction?
A
Fast.
3
Q
What does a chemical reaction depend on?
A
1) The frequency of particle collisions.
2) The energy transferred in a collision.
4
Q
What factors affect rate of reaction?
A
1) Temperature.
2) The concentrate of a solution or the pressure of a gas.
3) Surface area.
4) Presence of a catalyst.
5
Q
What happens when you increase the temperature?
A
- The particles move faster.
- They collide more frequently.
- They have more energy.
6
Q
How does increasing the concentration and pressure affect the rate of a reaction?
A
- There are more particles.
- The collisions are more frequent.
