17. What are the factors that affect the rate of reaction?

 Temperature
 Pressure
 Concentration
 Surface area
 Catalyst
18. What is effect of temperature on the rate of reaction?
When we raised a temp. the molecules bounce around a lot more. They have more energy.
When they bounce around more, they are more likely to collide. When the molecules are slower
and collide less, the temp. drop lowers the rate of reaction.
19. What is effect of concentration on the rate of reaction?
If there is more of a substance in a system,there is greater choice that molecules will collide,
If there is less of something in a system,there will be fewer and reaction will probably happens at
slower rate.
20. What is effect of pressure on the rate of reaction?
Pressure affects reaction rate when you look at gases especially. The gas particles become close
together increasing the frequency of collisions. This means particles are more likely to react.
21. What is effect of catalyst on the rate of reaction?
A catalyst is a substance which speeds up chemical reaction but is chemically unchanged as its
end. When the reaction has finished, the mass of catalyst is same at beginning.
There are two types of catalysts:
1. Positive catalyst
2. Negative catalyst
22. Why catalyst so important for industry?
 Products can be made more quickly saving time and money.
 Catalyst reduce the need for high temperature, saving fuel and reducing pollutants.
23. How can we find the average rate of reaction?
Reaction rate is the measure how fast a reaction occurs, or how much the reactant/product
change in a period of time.
Quantity changes of reactants / products
Total time of Reaction
