100

Three factors that affect the reaction rate of a chemical reaction.

What are concentration, surface area, and temperature?

100

Which letter represents the potential energy of the reactants?

B

100

As the number of effective collisions between reacting particles increases, the rate of the reaction...

a. increases

b. decreases

c. remains the same

increases

100

What happens if a collision has correct orientation but insufficient energy?

No reaction!

200

It increases the kinetic energy of that substance, resulting in a greater number of collisions.

How does temperature affect reaction rate?

200

Which letter represents the potential energy of the products?

F

200

The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called?

Activation energy

200

What is formed from a collision?

What is an activated complex or transition state, which are the same.

300

This alters the amount of collisions taking place within a reaction, increasing reaction rate.

How does concentration affect reaction rate?

300

Which letter represents the potential energy of the activated complex?

C

300

What will change when a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction?

Activation energy in the forward or reverse reaction

or

The potential energy of the activated complex

300

collision theory states...

What is That in order for molecules to react, they must collide

400

The formula used to calculate average reaction rate.

What is Δ[reactant]/Δtime ?

400

Which letter represents the heat of reaction, ΔH?

D

400

In what type of reaction do the products of the reaction always possess more potential energy than the reactants?

Endothermic

400

three things that must happen for the collision theory to happen

What is Particles must collide, Collisions must have the correct orientation, Collisions must have sufficient energy?

500

Outline why the rate of the reaction decreases with time.

What is that the limiting reactant is used up and less product is formed?

Explain, in terms of the function of a catalyst, why the curves on the potential energy diagram for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions are different

The curves are different because in a catalyzed reaction, the activation energy is less than an uncatalyzed reaction.

500

Explain, in terms of kinetic energy and collision, how increasing the temperature of a reaction will increase the rate of that reaction.

As you increase the temperature of a reaction, the kinetic energy (speed) of particles increases and therefore increases the frequency and effectiveness of collisions.

500

Give two reasons why the rate of a chemical reaction increases with increasing temperature.

Average KE increases with temperature
Collisions occur with greater energy or more have required EA
Average velocity increases with temperature
More collisions occur
