Rates of Reaction Catalyst

The rate of a chemical reaction normally

• increases as temperature decreases.

• decreases when a catalyst is added.

• increases as reactant concentration increases.

• decreases as reactant concentration increases.

Crushing a solid into a powder will increase reaction rate because:

• the particles will collide with more energy

• the orientation of colliding particles will be improved

• the activation energy barrier will be lowered

• the powdered form has more surface area

A lump of ignited charcoal which is glowing in air burns more vigorously when lowered into a bottle of pure oxygen. This is due to an increase in

• surface area

• temperature

• concentration

• volume
