Rate of reaction

Done by:-Ranim Khaled

Objectives: To be able to understand what is rate of

reaction
To be able to relate rate of reaction with
temperature , concentration and surface
area.

Rate of reaction: Therateof areactionis thespeedat which a

chemicalreactionhappens.
If areactionhas a lowrate, that means the molecules
combine at a slowerspeedthan areactionwith a high rate.
Somereactionstake hundreds, maybe even thousands, of
years while others can happen in less than one second.

Factors that affect the rate of the

reaction
1.Concentration
2.Temperature
3.Pressure
4.Surface area
5.catalysts

Temperature: When temperature increases,

energy of the particles will increase
, number of collisions will increase ,
number of successful collisions
increase finally the rate of reaction
increases.

Concentration

When concentation increases , number of particles increases ,

number of collision increases , number of successful collision
increases, rate of reaction increases.
When concentation decreases , number of particles
decreases , number of collision decreases, number of
successful collision decreases, rate of reaction decreases.

Surface Area: The rate of a chemical reaction can be raised by increasing

the surface area of a solid reactant. This is done by cutting
the substance into small pieces, or by grinding it into a
powder. If the surface area of a reactant is increased:
1. More particles are exposed to the other reactant
2. There are more collisions
3. The rate of reaction increases
