Reaction Rates
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| starting material in a chemical reaction | reactant |
| gets formed in a chemical reaction | product |
| says that as particles in the reactants move around, they collide with each other | Kinetic Molecular Theory |
| only collisions that result in the forming of products | Effective collisions |
| states that the reaction rate is affected by the number of effective collisions between reactant molecules | Collision Model |
| adding heat to the reaction ; more kinetic energy | increasing temperature |
| adding more reactant particles to the reaction | increasing concentration |
| adding more places to collide | increasing surface area |
| adding more force making particles move closer together | increasing pressure |
| only state of matter affected by increasing pressure | gases |
| molecules collide with enough energy and correct orientation | reasons reaction occur |
| speed of chemical reaction | reaction rate |
| substance that speeds up a chemical reaction | catalyst |
| the study of calculations of reactants and products in chemical reactions | stoichiometry |
