Chemistry - Chapter 7: Rates Of Chemical Reactions Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

Rates Of Chemical Reactions

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Reaction Rate

Change in reacta­nts­/pr­oducts' concen­tration over time

Factors That Increase Reaction Rate

Surface area
Concen­tration
Pressure
Temper­ature
Catalysts
 
Increasing Above Factors Also Increa­ses...
Collision frequency
Successful collisions amount
 
Temper­ature Increase Also Increa­ses...
Collision energy
 

Experiment Methods To Measure Reaction Rate

Mass loss
Gas volume made
Colour change
Concen­tration changes
pH change

Catalysts

Provides an altern­ative reaction pathway with lower activation energy
Speeds up reaction & isn't used up
Causes more particle collisions
 
Hetero­genous Catalysts
Homogenous Catalysts
Has different state to reactants & producs
Has same state as reactants & products
 

Transition State

Unstable state
Reactants' bonds broken & products' bonds forming
Triggered by activation energy

Collision Theory

Particle collision affects chemical reaction rates
 
Collision Requir­ements Of Reactant Particles
Collision with each other
Collision with enough energy
Collision in the right direction
