Grinding a effervescent tablet into powder increases the rate of reaction due to increased
surface area
Which of the following increase the reaction rate?
less surface area
lower temperature
an inhibitor
increased concentration
increased concentration
Which changes decrease the rate of reaction between magnesium and air?
1 heating the magnesium to a higher temperature
2 using a higher proportion of oxygen in the air
3 using magnesium ribbon instead of powdered magnesium
3 using magnesium ribbon instead of powdered magnesium
The major theory of reaction rate is called
Collision theory
What is the unit of concentration?
mol/dm3
To slow down a chemical reaction you will do one of the following:
Place the reactants in hot water
Place the products in ice bath
Place the reactants in a ice bath
Keep stirring the reactants with a stirring rod
Place the reactants in a ice bath
How could we make this reaction happen more quickly?
This is reaction between an acid and chalk.
crush the chalk to increase the surface area
Which is the highest concentration?
10m
2M
25 mmol
0.5M
2 M
Why increasing in temperature of the reactants can increase rate of reaction?
increase collision between the particles thus increasing the rate.
What is the rate of reaction?
How fast a reaction is in a certain time
Why does a higher temperature increase the rate of a reaction?
it increases both the frequency and energy of particle collisions
Why don't all collisions between particles cause a reaction?
not all the particles collide with enough energy
Why does a catalyst increase the rate of reaction?
it reduces the activation energy of the reaction
When surface area is decreased the rate of reaction...
Decreases, because there are LESS possible sites for correct collisions
The ______________is minimum energy required to make a successful collision between each particle.
Activation energy
Mention 4 factors increase the rate of a reaction.
increasing temperature, increasing concentration, increasing surface area, adding catalyst
