Rates of Reaction
Chemistry Chapter 14 in ReviseWise
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ACTIVATION ENERGY | The minimum energy required in which particles need to collide to cause a reaction |
| RATE OF A CHEMICAL REACTION | The change in concentration in unite time of any one reactant |
| INSTANTANEOUS RATE OF REACTION | Rate at a particular point in time during the reaction |
| CATALYST | A substance that alters the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed in the reaction |
| HETEROGENEOUS CATALYST | Catalyst in a different phase to the reactants (also happens at the surface- adsorption) |
| HOMOGENEOUS CATALYST | Catalyst in the same phase to the reactants |
| FACTORS AFFECTING REACTION RATES | Concentration Temperature Catalyst Nature- Ionic or Covalent Particle Size |
| ENZYMES | Catalyse in livers- homogeneous catalyst |
| AUTOCATALYSIS | Occurs when the product of reaction increases the react of the reaction |
| CATALYTIC CONVERTER | Reduces Emissions of gases Transition Metals- Platinum & Palladium Heterogeneous- Catalyst is solid, whilst reactant is gaseous |
