Effect of Concentration on Rate

Cards (12)

  • What is the key idea in chemistry that explains the rate of chemical reactions?
    Collision Theory
  • What does collision theory state about chemical reactions?
    Chemical reactions occur when reacting particles collide with sufficient energy.
  • How does the frequency of successful collisions affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
    The rate of a chemical reaction is determined by the frequency of successful collisions.
  • What happens to the rate of a chemical reaction over time?
    • Reactions are rapid initially
    • Reactions slow down over time
    • Reactions eventually stop
  • Why do reactions slow down over time according to collision theory?
    Reactions slow down due to a decrease in the number of reactant molecules.
  • What happens when all reactant molecules have run out?
    All reactions stop.
  • How does the concentration of reactants affect the rate of reaction?
    • Higher concentration leads to more collisions per second
    • Rate of reaction increases with concentration
    • Rate is proportional to concentration
  • If one container has twice the number of reactant particles as another, how does this affect the rate of reaction?
    The rate of reaction will be twice as fast.
  • How does the pressure of a gas affect the rate of reaction?
    Higher gas pressure increases the rate of reaction.
  • What can be inferred about the relationship between concentration and the quantity of product formed?
    • Higher concentration leads to a faster reaction
    • More product is formed at the end
    • The line representing higher concentration is steeper
  • What will be covered in the next video related to concentration and reaction rates?
    Investigating the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction.
  • What type of questions can be expected in the vision workbook regarding this topic?
    Questions on the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction.
