Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga Starter

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga Learning Objectives Increasing the number of collisions between particles increases the rate of reaction How temperature, concentration and surface area affect the rate of reaction

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga Rates of Reaction & Collision Theory ANIMATION

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga Which reaction is faster? Why? COOL PARTICLES HOT PARTICLES

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga Which reaction is faster? Why? DILUTE SOLUTION CONCENTRATED SOLUTION

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga Which reaction is faster? Why? BIG PIECE (small surface area) SMALL PIECES (large surface area)

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga Your presentation should: Explain that particle collisions are needed for a reaction Explain how the number of collisions affects the rate of reaction Explain how concentration OR temperature OR surface area affect the rate of reaction COUNTDOWN TIMER

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga TRUEFALSE TRUE OR FALSE A larger surface area decreases the number of useful collisions

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga TRUEFALSE TRUE OR FALSE When particles collide they always react

Rate of Reaction – Collision Theory2007 R. Mulenga “Match of the Day” Temperature Concentration Surface Area There are more particles to collide There is a bigger surface area for other particles to collide with Particles move faster and so there are more collisions and collisions have more energy
