chemical reaction and identify the excess
reagent(s)

I. Reaction rates
a measure of how fast a reaction
occurs
• TEMPERATURE
• REACTANT CONCENTRATION
• SURFACE AREA
• CATALYST
Ii. COLLISION THEORY
states that for a chemical
reaction to occur, the
reacting particles must
collide with one another.
Iii. CONDITIONS
• CONC. AND SURFACE AREA
• TEMPERATURE
• CATALYST
Iv. CHEM. EQUILIBRIUM
Many chemical reactions do not go to
completion. Instead, they reach a state
of chemical equilibrium where there is
no change in the concentrations of
reactants and products.
