1
New cards

When do colliding particles react?

When they are facing the right way and collide with the minimum amount of energy

2
New cards

What is the activation energy?

The minimum amount of energy needed tu break the bonds in order to start the reaction

3
New cards

What is the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution?

What you theoretically get if you plot the number of molecules in a substance with different kinetic energies

4
New cards

How does increasing the concentration and pressure cause the rate of reaction to increase?

There are more particles in a given volume = more frequent collisions = more chances ti react

5
New cards

How do catalysts increase the rate of reaction?

They decrease the activation energy by providing a different way for the bonds to be broken and remade so more particles have the energy to be able to react
