Study Notes
Indications of a Chemical Reaction
- Temperature change
- Colour change
- Formation of a precipitate
- Fizzling or bubbling, indicating gas production
Collision Theory
- Reactant particles must collide with enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier
- Reactant particles must collide with the correct orientation
- Most collisions don't result in the formation of products
Activation Energy
- The minimum amount of energy that molecules need to possess to have successful collisions and form products
- The energy needed for a chemical reaction to proceed
Reaction Rate
- The speed of a chemical reaction (time it takes for reactants to be converted to products)
- Slow rate of reaction: takes a long time for reactants to be converted to products
- Fast rate of reaction: takes a short amount of time for reactants to be converted to products
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
- Temperature: increasing temperature increases the rate of reaction due to more energetic particles
- Concentration: increasing concentration increases the rate of reaction due to more particles colliding
- Particle size or surface area: increasing surface area increases the rate of reaction due to more exposed particles colliding
- Use of a catalyst: lowers the activation energy, increasing the rate of reaction
