effects of concentration, pressure & surface area Flashcards
1
Q
what is the relationship between increasing pressure / concentration?
A
- more particles per unit volume
- collide with greater frequency
- higher frequency of successful collisions
2
Q
describe the change in maxwell boltzmann distribution curve for increasing pressure / concentration.
(peak, shape, Emp, mean energy, curve, num. of particles)
A
- peak at same energy, same shape
- Emp & mean energy stays same
- higher curve -> more area (more particles have energy > Ea)
3
Q
what is the relationship between surface area and collisions of particles?
A
larger surface area = more successful collisions to occur more frequently
