Chemical Reaction Rate Guide

The document discusses the collision theory of chemical reactions and factors that affect reaction rates. It explains that according to the collision theory, the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the number of collisions between reactants, but only collisions where reactants are properly oriented and energetic enough to surpass the activation energy will result in reaction. It identifies three factors that affect reaction rate: concentration of reactants, temperature, and particle size. Increasing concentration or temperature increases reaction rate by increasing collisions, while decreasing particle size increases reaction rate by increasing surface area for collisions.

The Collision

Theory and Factors


Affecting the Rate of
Chemical Reaction
“Chemical Kinetics”
-is the branch of
Chemistry that studies
reaction rates and
factors affecting rates
“Rate of Reaction”
The reaction rate or rate
of reaction is the speed
at which reactants are
converted into products.
Chemical reactions happen
when the reactants collide.
But will all collisions result in a
reaction or are there
requirements for a reaction to
occur after collision?
According to the collision theory, the rate
of a chemical reaction is directly
proportional to the number of collisions
between the reactants. However, only
those which collide effectively will result
in a chemical reaction. For an effective
collision to happen, the following
conditions should be met by the
reactants:
the following
conditions should be
met by the reactants:
1.) They must be properly oriented when
they collide

s
2.) They must be energetic enough to
surpass the activation energy or the energy
barrier.

s
Energy Higher than
Activation Energy
The activation energy or the energy
barrier is the energy needed to be
surpassed by the reactants for a
reaction to occur. When the energy
barrier is higher,
the reaction is slower.
Factors Affecting
s the
Rate of Reaction
Factors Affecting the
Rate of Reaction
The three factors that can affect
the rate of a chemical reaction
are concentration of reactants,
temperature, and particle size.
1.) Concentration

Concentration is the number of


molecules present in a specified volume.
When the concentration is high, more
particles are present; therefore, there is
a higher frequency of effective collisions.
Low Concentration High concentration
2.) Temperature

Energy is applied to increase the


temperature. The added energy provides
additional kinetic energy to the reactant
molecules. Higher kinetic energies
means greater frequency of effective
collisions.
s

Reactants Heat/ High Products


Temperature
3.) Particle size

Smaller particles have larger surface


area. The Greater the surface area,
the more sites of collision there will
be

“Key Points”
• According to the collision theory, the rate of
reaction is directly proportional to the number of
collisions between the reactants.
• An “effective collision” is characterized by
reactants colliding with proper orientation and
enough energy to surpass the activation energy.
• The activation energy or energy barrier is the
energy needed to be surpassed by the reactants
so that they will be transformed into products.
“Key Points”
• There are three factors that affect the
rate of the reaction: 1) concentration, 2)
temperature, and 3) particle size.
• Increasing the concentration or the
temperature of the reaction leads to an
increase in reaction rate. On the other
hand, decreasing the particle size
increases the reaction rate.
