GCSE Chemistry - Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction #47
Cognito・2 minutes read
Chemical reactions are influenced by factors like temperature, concentration/pressure, surface area, and catalyst presence, as explained by collision theory which emphasizes the need for energy and collision frequency for reactions to happen. Increasing temperature, concentration/pressure, surface area, and using catalysts all play a role in enhancing the rate of reactions by affecting energy, collision frequency, and activation energy.
Insights
- Temperature, concentration/pressure, surface area, and catalyst presence significantly impact the rate of chemical reactions by influencing particle energy, collision frequency, and activation energy requirements.
- Collision theory highlights the necessity of particles colliding with ample energy (activation energy) for reactions to happen, emphasizing the critical role of energy levels and collision rates in determining reaction rates.

Key Factors in Chemical Reaction Rates
- Factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions include temperature, concentration/pressure, surface area, and the presence of a catalyst.
- Collision theory states that particles need to collide with sufficient energy (activation energy) for a reaction to occur, with the rate depending on energy amount and collision frequency.
- Increasing temperature boosts particle energy and collision frequency, concentration/pressure increase the number of particles per volume, higher surface area enhances collision frequency, and catalysts lower activation energy, leading to more successful collisions and a higher reaction rate.
