Part I. Fill in the blanks.

1. Reaction rates increase when temperature increases because particles increase their
Kinetic Energy that will yield to greater chances for collision.
2. Catalyst provides an alternative pathway to the reaction by lowering the activation
energy.
3. When a greater number of particles is involved in a chemical reaction, the factor you are
most likely referring to is the concentration .
4. Larger surface area will lead to faster reaction since more spaces are exposed for

m
er as
collision.

Part II. Predict and explain the effect of the given factors on the rate of the following reaction:

1. A platinum catalyst is introduced in the reaction container.
ou urc
Platinum works as a catalyst by collecting oxygen atoms (O), and letting them bind with
the toxic carbon monoxide (CO), to create the less harmful carbon dioxide (CO2). A
o

catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction, without being consumed by the reaction. It

aC s

increases the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy for a reaction. ... The catalyst
vi y re

would act in the same way for an exothermic reaction.

2. The reactants are placed in a high-pressure container.
A pressure increase shifts an equilibrium to the side of the reaction with the fewer number
of moles of gas, while a pressure decrease shifts an equilibrium to the side of the reaction
ed d

with the greater number of moles of gas.

Part III. Examine the following examples. Determine whether it is an endothermic or exothermic
reaction, and explain your answer.
is

1. Freezing of water – Exothermic reaction, because the water will only freeze if the heat is
being released that contain the molecules whereas, the reaction produces water and heat is
Th

a characteristic of exothermic reaction.

2. Evaporation of water – Endothermic reaction, so the water will be evaporated. It needs
high temperature and pressure, it absorbs the heat in the surroundings.

3. Melting of ice – Endothermic reaction, so that the ice will melt.

4. Sublimation of dry ice – Endothermic reaction, sublimating means melting of the ice not
into liquid but into gas. Though the reaction of the ice is same of the melting of ice
because of the heat that is being absorb.
