Factors affecting reaction rates Flashcards
(4 cards)
1
Q
How does temperature affect reaction rate
A
Higher temperature = more kinetic energy = more frequent and energetic collisions
2
Q
How does surface area affect reaction rate
A
More surface area exposes more particles for collisions, increasing reaction speed
3
Q
How does concentration affect reaction rate
A
Higher concentration = more particles in the same volume = more collisions
4
Q
What is the effect of pressure on gases
A
Increased pressure increases the frequency of collisions in gases
