Chapter 8: Rates Of Reaction

What is the rate of reaction?

Rate of reaction is how fast you can measure the speed of the reaction.

What does the slope or gradient of a line on a reaction graph tell you?

It tells you how quickly the reaction is taking place.

How does changing the surface area affect the rate of reaction?

Small pieces of solids always react faster than larger pieces.

What happens if you change the temperature of the reactants?

The rate of reaction will change.

Why does sulfur form an opaque precipitate in water?

Because sulfur is insoluble in water.

What happens when the temperature of the reaction is increased?

The particles move faster and collide more often with more energy.

What happens to the rate of reaction when temperature increases?

The higher the temperature, the faster the rate of reaction.
