Reaction Rate
Rates of Reaction Basics Chapter 18.1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Activation Energy | the amount of energy needed in order for particles to react when they collide. |
| 2 things that affect reaction rate | frequency of collisions amount of energy with which they collide |
| 5 things that affect frequency of collisions and the amount energy in a reaction | temperature, pressure, surface area, concentration, catalyst |
| As a reaction progresses the rate decreases because why? | The reactants are getting used up and the products being produced are interfering with the collisions |
| In order for a reaction to take place, the particles must ________________ with each other. | collide |
| What does a catalyst do that changes the reaction rate? | It lowers the activation energy |
| What are some examples of how catalysts are used in industry? | Catalytic converter, margarine production, laundry detergent |
| Is a catalyst an active reactant in a reaction? | No, it remains unchanged |
| If the temperature is raised the reaction rate will ________. | Increase |
| If the pressure is decreased the reaction rate will ______. | decrease |
| As a reaction takes place, the reactants are getting used up and the products being produced are interfering with the collisions, what does this mean for the reaction rate? | It will slow down and eventually stop when the product is at 100%. |
| What did the breathe fire lab demonstrate? | That increased surface area increases the reaction rate. |
| What did the water to oil lab demonstrate? | That some reactions can seemingly take place in an instant |
| What did the elephant toothpaste lab demonstrate? | The use of a catalyst can increase the reaction rate greatly and can produce heat. (Exothermic) |
