rate

The rate of reaction is the amount of rectant converted to

product in a specified time period (per min per hour, per second) or the amount of product formed in a specified period of time
,

Some reactions that are important M an

to are either too fast or too slow
.

If a reaction is too fast it could be dangerous .

If a reaction is too slow ,
it may be not feasable or profitable .
,

The rate of reaction must either be increased or . Such

decreased reactions include many industrials and food manufacturing process that produce products that are important to use .

such products include feartilers , plastics , foods and medicine

The collision theory

In order for a reaction to take place the reactant particles must collide into each other
.
Every collision doesn't result in a reaction . Certain requirements must be met in order for

a reaction to take place

requirements

The collide
-
reactant particles must

- on collision the particles must have sufficent energy for reaction (activation energy)
-

reactant particles must be correctly oriented when collision occur

-
If collision is required for reaction to take place , the rate of reaction can increase by

-increasing the number of collisions of the reactant particles

~
increasing the number of reactant particles that have the activation energyt or the reaction

factors affecting Rate of reaction

The rate of reaction could be increased or decreased by the manipulation of certain conditions ·
These factors or conditions are
