IB Chemistry Kinetics

What two factors govern whether a collision between reacting particles will be effective?

• orientation and potential energy 
• kinetic energy and temperature 
• kinetic energy and orientation 
• potential energy and kinetic energy 

Under the collision theory, the particles must collide with  ____ and ____ for a reaction to occur.

• sufficient rate and sufficient energy
• sufficient surface area and correct orientation
• sufficient catalyst and sufficient energy
• sufficent energy and correct orientation

More collisions correspond to a: 

• Faster reaction rate  
• Slower reaction rate
• Constant reaction rate 
• None of the above

Decreasing the particle size increases the reaction rate because

• It makes particles move faster
• It increases the likelihood of collisions with the correct geometry
• It decreases the surface area available to react
• It increases the number of collisions

• Place the products in ice bath
• Place the reactants in a ice bath
• Keep stirring the reactants with a stirring rod

Why does a higher temperature increase the rate of a reaction?

• it increases both the frequency and energy of particle collisions
• it only increases the frequency of particle collisions
• it only increases the energy of particle collisions
• it reduces the activation energy of the reaction
