Discover that altering the number of successful collisions between particles is key to changing the rate of chemical reactions. How this can be manipulated?Key facts
- New substances are made when particles collide in chemical reactions.
- The rate of a reaction depends on temperature, pressure, concentration and catalysts.
- Catalysts speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy.
- The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to cause a reaction.
Transcript
Chemical reactions always involve new substances being made when particles collide.
Millions and millions of collisions can occur between particles every second.
But a reaction will only occur if the particles collide with enough energy.
Activation Energy
The minimum amount of energy needed to cause a reaction is called the activation energy.
