Q

What is a factor that affects the rates of reaction?

A

Temperature: gives particles more kinetic energy so that they can collide more frequently and forcefully meaning more particles can overcome the activation energy hence, increasing the rate of reaction

Q

What is a chemical reaction?

A

In order for the particles to react they must collide to make the product therefore, a chemical reaction is the process of reactant particles turning into product particles.

16
Q

What is diffusion?

A

Diffusion is the movement of
Particles
from an area of
high concentration to an area of low concentration in Liquids and gasses (fluids).

17
Q

What is latent heat?

A

Latent heat is the energy used to break the bonds so the temperature doesn’t increase

18
Q

What are the three states of matter

A

Solid,liquid,gas

19
Q

What is melting?

A

Melting is the process of a solid changing to a liquid (e.g ice to water)

20
Q

What is vaporisation?

A

Vaporisation is when a liquid changes to a gas (e.g water to steam)

21
Q

What is sublimation?

A

Sublimation is the process of a solid to gas (iodine(solid) to iodine(gas)

22
Q

What is evaporation?

A

Evaporation is vaporisation but only on the surface of a liquid

23
Q

What is boiling?

A

Boiling is vaporisation on the surface of the liquid as well as within the liquid

24
Q

What is condensation?

A

Condensation is the change from gas the liquid

25
How do catalysts affect the rate of reaction?
catalysts lower the activation energy by breaking the bonds providing an alternative pathaway meaning particles can collide more frequently hence increasimg the rate of reaction
26
How does concentration affect the rate of reaction?
if something has a higher conerntration it means that there are more particles in a certain area of the solution meaning it is more crowded so particles are able to colide more frequently hence increasing the rate of reaction
27
How does surface area affect the rate of reaction?
You can increase the surface area of an object by cutting it up into smaller pieces. This means that there are more exposed particles to collide with meaning particles can collide more frequently hence increasing the rate of reaction
