All changes saved 10 The rate of a reaction depends on many factors such as the concentration of the reactants. Which of the following explains why an increase in the concentration of reactants affects the rate of reaction? O The reactants move faster. There are fewer molecules present. O The activation energy is lowered. The collisions increase between the reactants.

The half-life of a chemical reaction is the time it takes for half the present reactants to be used up when a reaction has reached the half-way point when only half of the reactant is used the time passed when a reaction is half over
Generally, increasing the temperature increases the rate of a reaction. This is because: O increasing the temperature increases the frequency of collisions O increasing the temperature increases the average energy of the collisions and increases the frequency of collisions O increasing the temperature lowers the activation energy of the reaction increasing the temperature increases the average energy of the collisions.

How does adding a catalyst affect the rate of a chemical reaction? Has no effect on the rate of a reaction Decreases the reaction rate since there will be less reactants to from products quickly. Decreases the rate of reaction because the reactants molecules have lower kinetic energy limiting collisions Increases the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction without being used up in the reaction

2 Define "activation energy" a b What is the role of a catalyst in chemical reactions? Draw an energy profile diagram of an exothermic reaction and show the reaction pathway both with and without a catalyst present.
Consider the same reaction taking place in three vessels. The vessels all contain the same amount of each reactant, but the vessels have different volume and temperature. Rank the vessels in order from the slowest reaction to the fastest reaction. Vessel A: 2.0 L at 50°C Vessel B: 2.0Lat 30°C Vessel C: 4.0L at 30°C Rate of reaction is OA
Which is true? A slow reaction has low activation energy. A fast reaction has large activation energy. The size of the activation energy tells us about the reaction rate. The size of the activation energy tells us about the reaction mechanism.
Explain what happens in a chemical reaction? what does activation energy (EA) mean?
