Collision Theory -read the following summary on factors affecting rates


of reaction.
Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates of chemical reactions or how fast reactions occur.
The primary requirement for a reaction to occur is that the reactant particles (atoms or
molecules) must collide and interact with each other in some way. This is the central idea of
the collision model, which is used to explain many of the observations made about
chemical kinetics.

Collision theory states that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the number of
collisions between reactant molecules. The more often reactant molecules collide, the more
often they react with one another, and the faster the reaction rate. In reality, only a small
fraction of the collisions are effective collisions. Effective collisions are those that result in a
chemical reaction.

In order to produce an effective collision, reactant particles must possess some minimum
amount of energy. This energy, used to initiate the reaction, is called the activation energy.
For every sample of reactant particles there will be some that possess this amount of
energy. The larger the sample, the greater the number of effective collisions, and the faster
the rate of reaction. The number of particles possessing enough energy is dependent on the
temperature of the reactants. If reactant particles do not possess the required activation
energy when they collide, they bounce off each other without reacting.

Some chemical reactions also require that the reactant particles be in a particular
orientation to produce an effective collision. Unless the reactant particles possess this
orientation when they collide, the collision will not be an effective one.

5. Chemical theory states that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the
number of collisions between reactant molecules.
Explain how each of the following factors can increase the rate of a chemical
reaction. Use the information in the text above to explain how the activation energy is
changed or overcome.
