increasing surface area
|
more particles exposed to other reactant so more frequent successful collisions |
|
increasing conc. or increasing pressure of gaseous reactions
|
particles closer together so more frequent successful collisions |
|
rate =
|
change in conc. / time taken
|
|
activation energy
|
the minimum energy needed for the reaction to occur
|
|
the higher the temperature...
|
the more molecules have sufficient energy to react i.e. have <_ Ea. so more frequent successful collisions
|
|
a catalyst
|
speeds up a reaction without being used up
|
|
how does a catalyst work?
|
provides an alternative route with a lower Ea. more molecules have sufficient energy to react more frequent successful collisions |
