Learn about the impact of temperature, concentration, particle size, and catalysts on reaction rates, with details on activation energy, inhibitors, and the role of heterogeneous catalysts. Explore how catalysts speed up reactions without being consumed and the influence of surface area on reactions.

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.
