Rates Of Reaction

Question 1

What is the rate of a chemical reaction?

Answer 1

The rate of a chemical reaction is how fast the reactants are changed into products

Question 2

What does collision theory state?

Answer 2

The rate of a chemical reaction depends on:

• the collision frequency of reacting particles. The more collisions there are the faster the reaction is
• the energy transferred during a collision. Particles have to collide with enough energy for the collision to be successful. The minimum amount of energy that particles need to react is called the activation energy.
