Rates of Reactions

Question 1 of 7

1

An increase in temperature increases the rate of reaction. Why?
How many of these are correct explanations.
- The particles move faster because they have more energy.
- Particles collides more often.
- There are more particles per unit volume, resulting in more collisions.
- More of the collisions between particles are successful because they have more energy (have the activation energy).
- Rate of reaction increases because there is an increase in the frequency of collisions. /

Select one of the following:

  • 2

  • 3

  • 4

Explanation

Question 2 of 7

1

Increasing the concentration of the reactant increases the rate of the reaction. Why?
How many of these are correct explanations.
- Rate of reaction increases because the particles move faster and collide more.
- Rate of reaction increases because there are more particles per unit volume.
- Rate of reaction increases because there is an increase in the frequency of collisions.
- Rate of reaction increases because the particles have more energy.

Select one of the following:

  • 2

  • 3

  • 1

Explanation

Question 3 of 7

1

What is the effect of increasing the pressure on the rate of reaction?

Select one of the following:

  • Rate of reaction increases because particles are closer together and so the frequency of collisions increases.

  • Rate of reaction increases because there are more successful collisions.

  • Rate of reaction increases because more of the particles have the required activation energy.

Explanation

Question 4 of 7

1

Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant causes an increased rate of reaction. Why?

Select one of the following:

  • More particles are exposed to the other reactant, meaning there are more collisions, so increasing the rate of reaction.

  • The increased surface area means that the pressure of the reaction is increased, hence causing more collisions.

  • The increased surface area increases the concentration of the reactant, resulting in more collisions.

Explanation

Question 5 of 7

1

What do catalysts do?

Select one of the following:

  • Slow down the rate of reaction

  • Increase the rate of reaction

  • Activate a reaction

Explanation

Question 6 of 7

1

Why do catalysts not need replacing too often?

Select one of the following:

  • They are not used up.

  • They are unreactive.

Explanation

Question 7 of 7

1

A) Catalysts do not get used up during the reaction.
B) Catalysts make reactions exothermic.
C) Catalysts lower the activation energy of the reaction.
D) Catalysts provide a different route for a chemical reaction to occur.
E) Catalysts raise the temperature of the reaction.

Select one of the following:

  • C and E

  • C and D

  • A and D

  • A and B
