(6 cards)
1
Q
What is rate of a reaction
A
How fast a reaction takes place
2
Q
Collision theory
A
For particles to react they must collide with sufficient energy ( minimum energy particles need is activation energy )
3
Q
What is on the x and y axis of boltzmann curve
A
Energy and number of molecules
4
Q
What is the area of the graph
A
Total number of particles
5
Q
What affects rate of reaction
A
Temperature
Surface area
Concentration
Catalyst
6
Q
How does the graph shift if there’s a higher temperature
A
Shifts to the right and peak is lower and the curve is more broad
