FACTORS AFFECTING

THE RATES OF
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
WHAT IS A RATE OF REACTION?

RATE OF REACTION REFERS TO THE


SPEED OF REACTION.

SOME CHEMICAL REACTIONS ARE VERY


FAST WHILE SOME ARE VERY SLOW.
WHY ARE SOME
REACTIONS FASTER
THAN OTHERS?
WHAT ARE SOME REACTIONS FASTER THAN
OTHERS?
• REACTIONS TAKE PLACE
WHEN PARTICLES COLLIDE
WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
ENERGY.

• THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF


ENERGY NEEDED FOR THE
PARTICLES TO REACTION IS
CALLED ACTIVATION ENERGY.
COLLISION THEORY
BASED ON THIS THEORY, NOT ALL COLLISIONS BETWEEN THE
MOLECULES RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF PRODUCTS.

EFFECTIVE COLLISIONS ONLY OCCUR


WHEN:
1. COLLIDING MOLECULES POSSESS A MINIMUM
KINETIC ENERGY (ACTIVATION ENERGY) TO START A
CHEMICAL REACTION.

2. THE REACTANT MOLECULES SHOULD BE IN CORRECT


ORIENTATION WHEN THEY COLLIDE.
FACTORS AFFECTING
THE RATES OF
CHEMICAL REACTION
1. TEMPERATURE
2. PARTICLE SIZE/ SURFACE
AREA OF REACTANTS
3. CONCENTRATION OF
REACTANTS
4. PRESENCE OF A CATALYST
TEMPERATURE

THE HIGHER THE


TEMPERATURE, THE FASTER
THE RATE OF REACTION.
SURFACE AREA/ PARTICLE SIZE OF
REACTANTS

THE SMALLER THE PIECES, THE


LARGER THE SURFACE AREA. THIS
MEANS, MORE COLLISIONS AND
FASTER RATE OF REACTIONS.
PRESENCE OF A CATALYST

CATALYST – SUBSTANCE THAT CHANGE


THE RATE OF REACTION WITHOUT BEING
USED UP IN THE REACTION.

CATALYST NEVER PRODUCE MORE


PRODUCTS, THEY JUST PRODUCE THE
SAME AMOUT MORE QUICKLY.
CONCENTRATION OF REACTANTS

AT A HIGHER CONCENTRATION, THERE


ARE MORE PARTICLES IN THE SAME
AMOUNT OF SPACE. THIS MEANS THAT
THE PARTICLES ARE MORE LIKELY TO
COLLIDE AND THEREFORE MORE LIKELY
TO REACT.
______1. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS BEST
DESCRIBE THE COLLISION THEORY?
A.PARTICLES MUST COLLIDE WITH SUFFICIENT AMOUNT
OF ENERGY IN ORDER TO REACT.
B.CATALYST CAN BE RECOVERED UNCHANGED AT THE
END OF THE REACTION PROCESS.
C.INCREASING THE RATE OF A REACTANT INCREASES THE
RATE OF REACTION.
D.SMALLER PIECES HAVE GREATER SURFACE AREA, THUS,
PROVIDING MUCH GREATER CONTACT AMONG THE
REACTANTS.
______2. HOW WILL CRUSHING A SOLID INTO A
POWDER INCREASE THE REACTION RATE?
A. THE ACTIVATION ENERGY WILL BE LOWERED.
B. THE CONCENTRATION OF PARTICLES WILL
IMPROVE.
C. THE PARTICLES WILL COLLIDE WITH MORE
ENERGY.
D. THE POWDERED FORM HAS MORE SURFACE
AREA.
______3. FRESH FISH AND MEAT THAT ARE NOT
STORED IN A REFRIGERATOR SHOW SIGNS OF
SPOILAGE IN LESS THAN A DAY. WHAT HAS CAUSED
THIS
SPOILAGE?
A. TEMPERATURE CHANGES
B. PRESENCE OF MICROORGANISMS
C. OXYGEN IN AIR
D. ALL OF THE ABOVE
______4. PERISHABLE GOODS THAT ARE NOT PROPERLY
STORED SHOW SIGNS OF SPOILAGE IN LESS THAN A DAY.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WILL HELP IN LENGTHENING
THE SHELF LIFE OF THESE GOODS?
A. PLACE THE GOODS IN A WARM PLACE.
B. ADD MORE GOODS.
C. PLACE THE GOODS INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR
D. JUST CONSUME THE GOODS
______5. FREQUENT COLLISIONS AMONG PARTICLES OF
REACTANTS WILL LEAD TO A FASTER RATE OF REACTION.
______6. A PRESENCE OF AN INHIBITOR IS NEEDED IN
ORDER TO INCREASE THE RATE OF REACTION.
______7. IN USING BLEACH TO REMOVE STAINS FROM
WHITE CLOTHES, THE HIGHER THE CONCENTRATION OF
BLEACH, THE MORE EFFECTIVE IT IS IN REMOVING
STAINS.
