Rate of reaction factors
This factor increases the kinetic energy of particles, speeding up reactions
What is temperature?
Corrosion often occurs when metals react with this gas.
What is oxygen?
A precipitation reaction occurs when two of these types of solutions are mixed to form a solid.
What are aqueous solutions?
Combustion is an example of a reaction that occurs at this speed
What is fast?
The gas used by plants to produce sugar during photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
Increasing this factor increases the frequency of reactant collisions.
What is concentration?
This type of corrosion occurs when iron reacts with water and oxygen.
What is rusting?
A solution that releases hydrogen ions is called this.
What is an acid?
Name one common factor that can slow down the rate of a chemical reaction.
What is lowering the temperature or reducing concentration?
Name the process where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy
What is photosynthesis?
Reactants with a larger exposed surface area will react faster due to this.
What is greater surface area?
Corrosion is accelerated by the presence of this substance in air or water
What is salt?
When an acid reacts with a base, this type of reaction occurs, producing water and salt.
What is neutralisation?
Explain how catalysts can speed up both fast and slow reactions.
What is by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction?
Photosynthesis primarily occurs in these organelles.
What are chloroplasts?
This type of substance speeds up a reaction without being consumed.
What is a catalyst?
Name the main active ingredient in common antacids that neutralizes stomach acid
What is magnesium hydroxide?
This type of reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a metal carbonate, producing CO2 gas.
What is acid-carbonate reaction?
Name one factor that can speed up a slow reaction.
What is temperature, concentration, surface area, or catalyst?
Plants use the sugars produced in photosynthesis for these two processes.
What are growth and energy storage?
Enzymes are biological forms of these, controlling reactions in living systems.
What are biological catalysts?
The chemical formula for rust is often written as Fe2O3, a compound involving these elements.
What are iron and oxygen?
Use this set of rules to predict whether a solid forms during a precipitation reaction.
What are solubility rules?
Fermentation of sugar into alcohol is an example of a reaction with this rate
What is slow?
Plants convert glucose into this carbohydrate for energy storage.
What is starch?
