Rates of Reaction

1 There are four main factors that affect the rate of reaction. These are:
a) C......................... . This is a measure of how crowded the particles are in a solution and
the frequencies of c........................ .
b) S........................ a......................... . This is a measure of how much solid is exposed to
reaction and therefore how many c............................... take place.
c) T......................... . This affects the energy of the particles and how quickly they
c...................... . It also affects the f................... with which the particles collide and how
e.............................. the collisions are. The energy required for any reaction to take place is
called the a......................... energy for that reaction.
d) The presence of a c............................ . These speed up a chemical reaction but is
u............................. chemically. They work by lowering the activation e..................... for the
reaction.

2. Draw lines on these graphs to show how the rate of each reaction changes.
