1
Q
Factors affecting rate?
A
Temperature, concentration/pressure, surface area, catalysts
2
Q
Define activation energy.
A
Minimum energy needed for a reaction to occur.
3
Q
What does a catalyst do?
A
Provides alternative route with lower activation energy.
4
Q
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution shows?
A
Range of particle energies; only those above activation energy react.
