Rates of Chemical Reactions Chapter 6
Things that Affect Rate • Temperature • Higher temperature faster particles. • More and harder collisions. • Faster Reactions. • Concentration • More concentrated closer together the molecules. • Collide more often. • Faster reaction.
Things that Affect Rate • Particle size • Molecules can only collide at the surface. • Smaller particles bigger surface area. • Smaller particles faster reaction. • Smallest possible is molecules or ions. • Dissolving speeds up reactions. • Getting two solids to react with each other is slow.
Things that Affect Rate • Catalysts- substances that speed up a reaction without being used up.(enzyme). • Speeds up reaction by giving the reaction a new path. • The new path has a lower activation energy. • More molecules have this energy. • The reaction goes faster. • Inhibitor- a substance that blocks a catalyst.
