What is the effect of increasing temperature on the rate of reaction?

Back

Increasing temperature generally increases the rate of reaction because it provides more energy to the reactant molecules, leading to more frequent and effective collisions.

What is one factor that would not speed up a chemical reaction?

Back

Using a large beaker would not speed up a chemical reaction.

Front

Explain how surface area affects the rate of reaction.

Back

Greater surface area allows more collisions between reactant particles, which increases the reaction rate.

Front

Which reaction condition would likely result in the slowest rate of reaction?

Back

How does the presence of a catalyst affect the activation energy of a reaction?

Back

A catalyst lowers the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, making it easier for the reaction to proceed.

Front

What role does collision theory play in understanding reaction rates?

Back

Collision theory states that for a reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation.
