collision theory
"You cant react if you dont collide."
3 necessary requirements in order for a reaction to take place: 1. the particles must collide to react. 2. Collision of particles must produce enough energy (to overcome energy of activation) 3. Collisions of particles must be correctly oriented

Activation energy
The energy that must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to occur Activation energy is the minimum energy necessary for a specific chemical reaction to occur
Activation energy The sparks generated by striking steel against a flint provide the activation energy to initiate combustion in this Bunsen burner.
Not enough kinetic energy for reactants to leap over reaction barrier.

What affects the rate of a reaction? Size of reactant Temperature of reaction mixture
Concentration of reactants
/pressure catalyst
a reaction between magnesium metal and a dilute acid like hydrochloric acid.
Increasing the number of collisions per second increases the rate of reaction.
Magnesium metal
Magnesium metal
increases the frequency of collisions between particles Increase the frequency effective collisions between particles
Increase the rate of reaction.
2. Temperature
increase the frequency of collisions between particles Increase the frequency effective collisions between particles
Increase the rate of reaction.
Increasing concentration or pressure increases the number of particles per unit volume
increase the number of particles per unit volume increase the frequency of collisions between particles Increase the frequency effective collisions between particles
Increase the rate of reaction.
Properties of Catalysts
- A catalyst will change the rate of a reaction. - The catalyst itself does not take part in the reaction - It is not changed by the reaction - it is not used up during the reaction. - A catalyst is usually a transition metal, a transition metal oxide
4. Catalyst
How does a catalyst work? 1) Provides a surface on which the reaction can take place. 2) This increases the number of collisions between the particles of the substances that are reacting.
4. Catalyst
Often a catalyst is there to provide a favourable surface for a reaction to take place
The black object represents the catalyst
Examples CATALYSTS
reaction Decomposition of manganese(IV) hydrogen peroxide oxide, MnO2 Manufacture of ammonia iron by the Haber Process Contact Process to make vanadium(V) sulphuric acid oxide, V2O5
catalyst
A catalyst provides an alternative route for the reaction with a a lower activation energy.
