    This document discusses factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions including: 1) Catalysts which speed up reactions without being used up. 2) Temperature - increasing temperature increases rate by speeding particle collisions, decreasing temperature lowers rate. 3) Concentration - higher concentrations increase rate by providing more opportunities for collisions between reactant particles.

    ACTIVITY 4:
    Factors Affecting the Rate of Chemical Reactions

    1.
    • Catalyst – is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being
    used up in the reaction itself.
    • Catalytic Converter – this is an exhaust emission control device that reduces toxic gases
    and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxic
    pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction.
    • Rate of Reaction – this is the speed at which reactants are converted into products.
    • Surface Area - is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies.

    2.
    a. When temperature has cooled down, the frequency at which particles of reactants
    can collide becomes lesser than it is when it rises, meaning there will be a
    decreasing rate of reaction, less energy, and slower-moving particles. An example of
    this would be our fridge that we have at home.

    b. An increase in concentration can result in a change in the rate of a reaction because


    it will create a greater chance of collections between particles which then results to
    a much faster reaction. A real life example would be medicine.

    Vocabulary
    catalyst energy
    catalytic converter heat
    collisions rate of reaction
    concentration surface area
    dilute temperature

    1. A freshly exposed surface of metallic sodium tarnishes almost instantly if exposed to air
    and moisture, while iron will slowly turn to rust under the same conditions. In these
    two situations, the rate of reaction refers to how quickly or slowly reactants turn into
    products.

    2. Adding heat will increase the rate of reaction because this causes the particles of the
    reactants to move more quickly, resulting in more collisions and more energy.

    3. Removing heat will lower the temperature, causing the particles of the reactants to slow
    down, resulting in less frequent collisions.

    4. Concentration refers to how much solute is dissolved in a solution. If there is a greater


    concentration of reactant particles present, there is a greater chance that collisions
    among them will occur. More collisions mean a higher rate of reaction.
    5. A concentrated acid solution will react more quickly than a dilute acid solution because
    there are more molecules present, increasing the chance of collisions.

    6. Grains of sugar have a greater surface area than a solid cube of sugar of the same mass,
    and therefore will dissolve quicker in water.

    7. A catalyst, for example an enzyme, is used to speed up a chemical reaction but is not
    used up in the reaction itself.

    8. A catalytic converter in car has metallic catalysts where several reactions occur. Carbon
    monoxide, which was produced in the combustion of gasoline, is changed into carbon
    dioxide and water in the presence of these metallic catalysts.
