Collision Theory And Activation Energy Flashcards
1
Q
What does collision Theory state?
A
Chemical reactions can occur only when reacting particles collide with each other and with sufficient energy
2
Q
What do concentration, surface area and pressure do in terms of collisions?
A
Increases frequency of collisions
3
Q
How is temperature different to other factors in terms of collisions?
A
Makes collisions more energetic
4
Q
How do catalyst work?
A
Increase the rate of reaction by providing a different pathway for the reaction that has lower activation energy
