Exercises:
1. Describe in your own words the effect of particle size or surface area on the rate
of a reaction.
2. What is the effect of temperature on reaction rate?
3. Study the chemical equation below. Notice the reactants and resulting products.
H2O2 H2O + O2
MnO2
4. Where is the MnO2 written in the equation?
5. Do you think the MnO2 reacted with H2O2?
6. MnO2 only acted as a catalyst. What role do you think a catalyst play in a
chemical reaction?
7. Describe in your own words the effect of concentration on the rates of reaction.
8. How will you explain using the Collision theory the factors affecting reaction:
a. Surface area of reactants
b. Temperature
c. Catalyst
d. Concentration
