  • A catalyst speeds up reactions by lowering activation energy, but it isn't consumed during the reaction.
  • what is meant by activation energy
    minimum amount of energy that particles need to react
  • temperature
    temp inc particles all move faster .so therefore they r gonna collide more frequently.the faster they move the more energy they have .so they have enough energy to make reaction happen
  • concentration
    .more particles knocking in same volume .when pressure of gas is inc it means that the same number of particles have smaller space . collisions more frequent
  • what is the le chatelier 's principle
    if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change the system will adjust to counter act the change
  • in reversible reactions increasing temperature favours the endothermic reactions( as heat is needed for it ). one direction is always endothermic while the other is exothermic
