When a(n) ________ is used, the rate of reaction will increase.
New cards
3
Particles
________ need to have sufficient energy to react when they collide.
New cards
4
surface area
Increasing the ________ of a solid increases the collision rate.
New cards
5
rate of reaction
There are three things that can effect the ________.
New cards
6
explosive mixture
Methane gas mixed with air in coal mines can also form a(n) ________.
New cards
7
temperature
Increasing the ________ increases the rate of reaction.
New cards
8
Catalysts
________ (including enzymes) create alternative reaction pathways which have a lower activation energy.
New cards
9
How do physical changes differ from chemical changes?
A physical change affects the forces between particles. The particles and their chemical properties remain the same. A chemical affects the chemical properties of the substance.
New cards
10
What does the term ‘activation energy’ mean?
The minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur.
New cards
11
What must happen for a reaction to occur?
Particles must collide at the correct orientation with sufficient energy to react
New cards
12
How can the rate of a reaction be increased?
Increase the temperature.
Increase the concentration.
Increase surface area to volume ratio. - Add a catalyst.
Increase the pressure (for gases).
New cards
13
How does surface area affect the rate of reaction?
Increasing the surface area of reactants increases the rate of reaction because there are more exposed particles so more frequent successful collisions.
New cards
14
What is an enzyme?
A biological catalyst that increases the rate of reactions in living cells without being used up.
New cards
15
How can rate of reaction be calculated?
Rate of reaction = Amount of reactant used or product formed/ Time (s)
