rates of reaction Flashcards

(7 cards)

1
Q

How does the temperature affect rates of reaction?

A

if temperature is increased particles have more energy.

There is more successful collisions so there will be a faster rate of reaction.

Q

How does concentration affect rates of reaction?

A

there are more particles per unit volume
there is more chance of particles colliding
this means more successful reactions.
