  4. Bubbles
  5. Colourless solution.
Collision theory
1. Activation energy
  1. is when you break down the bonds at the start of the reaction to start the reaction.
  2. The activation energy is required to break down the bonds so the atoms can move freely.
    1. Once this happens the reaction should begin.
      1. the reaction will then require less energy through out the rest of the reaction.
2. Catalysts.
  1. Catalysts increase the rate of reaction by providing an alternative route.
    1. Better catalysts can result in finding lower energy roots and increased yeuild
