Rate of Reaction Definitions Flashcards
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1CatalystSubstance that changes the rate of reaction but emerges chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction
- 2Increasing surface areaIncreases the rate of reaction
- 3Activation energyThe minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur is called its activation energy
- 4Collision frequencyThe number of successful collisions per second. Higher collision frequency leads to a higher rate of reaction
- 5EnzymesProteins that acts as catalysts in biological processes
- 6Denatured moleculeOne that has changed shape. Enzymes can be denatured by changes in temperature or pH
- 7Rate of reactionSpeed at which products are turned into reactants
