The document discusses factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions. It explains that reactions occur when reactant particles collide with sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier. The rate of reactions can be increased by raising the temperature, increasing the concentration of reactants, reducing the particle size to increase surface area for more collisions, and adding a catalyst which lowers the activation energy without being consumed in the reaction.

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. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
