v. Activity 1.2:
1. Fomation of bubbles.
2-3. The rate of formation in tube B is more likely to be higher compared to tube A, because tube
B suggests effective collisions of particles to occur .
4-5. The more higher the concentration is of an element the more higher it’s probability of
collisions. This is because the concentration of elements is directly proportional to it’s
effectiveness to collide.
6. Mg(s) + 2 HCI(aq) → MgCI 2(aq) + H 2(g)
7. Potassium Permanganate dissolves faster in a mixture of Oxalic acid and Sulfuric acid at
higher temperatures. This is because, just like what is said in the collision theory, the higher
temperature is the more frequent particles collide.
8-9. Temperature increase of course, the production of bubbles, and the rate of reaction.
10-11. When the temperature increases, the energy of molecules also increases, leading to more
effective collisions of particles.
12-13. Powdered calcium carbonate dissolves faster in water than a lump of calcium carbonate
because of its large surface area.
14-15. Smaller particle sizes have wider surface areas, leading to more contact between reactants.
vii. Assessment:
1. Increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the collision frequency between reacting
particles.

v. Activity 1.3:
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.
An enzyme is a biological catalyst, typically protein, that facilitates specific chemical
reactions in living organisms.
Activation energy is related to rate of reaction because it represents the energy required for a
reaction to occur.
Without catalysts, life would be inefficient, as many vital biochemical reactions would
proceed too slowly to sustain life’s processes.

Washing clothes: Laundry detergents contain enzymes that act as catalysts, breaking down stains
and dirt on clothes, making them easier to remove during washing.
Cooking: Yeast is a biological catalyst commonly used in baking. It ferments sugars in dough,
releasing carbon dioxide gas that makes bread rise.
Preserving food: Citric acid, a common food preservative, acts as a catalyst to slow down the
growth of bacteria and mold that can spoil food.
Lighting a fire: Heat acts as a catalyst in the reaction between oxygen and flammable materials,
such as wood or paper, allowing the fire to ignite more easily.
