The document discusses key concepts related to chemical reaction rates including:
- Collision theory which states that molecules must collide with sufficient energy and correct orientation for a reaction to occur. This is known as an effective collision.
- Factors that affect reaction rates such as temperature, concentration, surface area, and the use of catalysts. Increased factors lead to more collisions and faster reactions.
- Activation energy which is the minimum energy needed for molecules to react. Catalysts provide an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy.
- Energy level diagrams which show reactants at a higher energy level than products for exothermic reactions, and lower for endothermic reactions.
6. 1. the molecules must collide to react. If two molecules simply collide, however, they will not always react; therefore, the occurrence of a collision is not enough. 3 necessary requirements in order for a reaction to take place:
7. This is the idea of a transition state ; if two slow molecules collide, they might bounce off one another because they do not contain enough energy to reach the energy of activation and overcome the transition state (the highest energy point). 2. there must be enough energy (energy of activation) for the two molecules to react.
8. For the reaction to occur between two colliding molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation , and possess a certain, minimum, amount of energy . 3. the molecules must be oriented with respect to each other correctly.
9. If the colliding particles have less than this minimum energy then they just bounce off each other and no reaction occurs. This minimum energy is called the activation energy. collision theory There is a minimum amount of energy which colliding particles need in order to react chemical reaction only occur between particles when they collide

19. The energy that must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to occur Activation energy is the minimum energy necessary for a specific chemical reaction to occur For chemical reaction to have noticeable rate, there should be noticeable number of molecules with the energy equal or greater than the activation energy.

22. Not enough kinetic energy for reactants to leap over reaction barrier. A "hot" reaction in progress showing reactants leaping over the activation energy barrier What is activation energy
35. What affects the rate of a reaction? 1. The effect of particle size Reducing the size of particles increases the surface area increases the number of collisions per second. Increase the rate of reaction . Increase the number of effective collisions .
36. Increasing the Surface Area of a Solid. A solid in a solution can only react when particles collide with the surface. The bigger the area of the solid surface, the more particles can collide with it per second A powder has the largest surface area and will have the fastest reaction rate.
37. THE EFFECT OF SURFACE AREA ON REACTION RATES a reaction between magnesium metal and a dilute acid like hydrochloric acid. Increasing the number of collisions per second increases the rate of reaction.

40. What affects the rate of a reaction? 2. Temperature Increasing temperature will increase energy in the particles leads to an increased probability of favourable collisions .
41. What affects the rate of a reaction? 1. The effect of temperature Increase the temperature increases the kinetic energy of particles Increases the number of collisions per second. Increase the rate of reaction . Increase the number of effective collisions .
42. 3. Concentration and Pressure Increasing concentration or pressure increases the rate of a reaction, because the particles are closer together and have an increased probability of favourable collisions. What affects the rate of a reaction?
46. What affects the rate of a reaction? 1. The effect of concentration Increase the concentration increases the no of particles /unit volume increases the number of collisions per second. Increase the rate of reaction . Increase the number of effective collisions .
49. What affects the rate of a reaction? 1. The effect of pressure in gas Increase the pressure of gas increases the no of particles/unit volume increases the number of collisions per second . Increase the rate of reaction . Increase the number of effective collisions .
50. 4. Catalyst Often a catalyst is there to provide a favourable surface for a reaction to take place What affects the rate of a reaction? The black object represents the catalyst
51. A catalyst will change the rate of a reaction. - The catalyst itself does not take part in the reaction - It is not changed by the reaction it is not used up during the reaction. - A catalyst is usually a transition metal, a transition metal oxide Properties of Catalysts

53. What affects the rate of a reaction? 1. The effect of catalyst Catalyst provides alternative route That has a lower activation energy Increase the rate of reaction . So more particles have energy equal or greater than activation energy . Number of effective collisions increase .
54. 4. Catalyst How does a catalyst work? 1) A catalyst provides a surface on which the reaction can take place. This increases the number of collisions between the particles of the substances that are reacting. What affects the rate of a reaction?
57. 4. Catalyst How does a catalyst work? 2) A catalyst lowers the activation energy This means that the particles can react with less energy than they needed before the catalyst was added. (Think about it: if the government lowered the legal age to buy cigarettes , then more people could legally buy cigarettes. Similarly, if we lower the amount of energy needed for particles to react, then more particles can react ). What affects the rate of a reaction?
58. A catalyst provides an alternative route for the reaction. That alternative route has a lower activation energy. Activation energy
