rates of reaction Flashcards
(7 cards)
How does the temperature affect rates of reaction?
if temperature is increased particles have more energy.
There is more successful collisions so there will be a faster rate of reaction.
How does concentration affect rates of reaction?
there are more particles per unit volume
there is more chance of particles colliding
this means more successful reactions.
What is the definition of the rate of a reaction?
The rate of a reaction is the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.
True or False: Increasing the temperature generally increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
True
Fill in the blank: The rate of reaction can be affected by factors such as temperature, concentration, surface area, and _______.
catalysts
Which of the following factors increases the rate of reaction? A) Decreasing temperature B) Increasing concentration C) Reducing surface area
B) Increasing concentration
What is the effect of a catalyst on the rate of a reaction?
A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy required.
