31
what is the 4 factors that affect the rate of a reaction
- Temperature
- Concentration
- Surface Area
- Catalyst
32
What does Temperature do to a reaction?
- Higher temperature gives reactant particles more kinetic energy to move faster and collide harder
33
What does Concentration do to a reaction?
- Higher concentration means more reactant particles in the same space.
- More particles lead to more frequent collisions.
- Faster collisions increase the chances of a successful reaction.
34
What does Surface Area do to a reaction?
- Breaking solids into smaller pieces
- Which allows reactions to occur at multiple points at once.
- Faster reactions occur because more collisions happen at the surface.
35
What does Catalyst do to a reaction?
- It reduces the energy needed for a reaction to occur.
36
What is a synthesis reaction? (Endo or Exo)
- combining elements to make a compound
- Exothermic
37
what is a decomposition reaction? (Endo or Exo)
- Molecule breaks down to form two or more smaller products
- Endothermic
38
what does a single replacement reaction do? (Endo or Exo)
- one element replaces another element in a compound
- Exothermic
39
What does a double replacement reaction do? (Endo or Exo)
- the cations and anions of the two compound switch places
- Exothermic
