Which of the following is NOT a reason why a catalyst can speed up a reaction?a. Increasing the pre-exponential term of the Arrhenius equation b. Decreasing effective collisions between reactants c. Providing a different reaction path d. Lowering of activation energy
2. Reaction - A process in which one or more substances in the reactante are converted to one or more different subetances. Increasing the concentration of the reactants will increase the frequency of collisions between the two reactants. There are more reacting particles in a given volume. So, there are more collisions and more effective collisions. 3. Concentration 4. Temperature 5. Endothermic 6. Exothermic
1. a. Explain in your own words, what is meant by the term "activation energy." b. How can the idea of activation energy be used to explain the temperature dependance of rate? c. How can activation energy be used to explain why a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction
Consider a possible gas-phase reaction between Ca+ and CH4+ to yield Ca+2 and CH4. What important feature of the reactants is neglected in collision theory which might work to reduce the probability of reactive collisions between them?
Consider the three possible collision orientations of the reactant molecules?
Consider the following general reaction for which gases A and B are mixed.in a constant volume container: A(g) + B(g) -> C(g) + D(g) According to collision theory, what happens to the rate of the reaction under the following changes: (consider each change separately) increase the temperature decrease the temperature increase the volume there is no change to the reaction rate A. decrease the volume the reaction rate increases В. decrease the pressure the reaction rate decreases C. collision theory does not allow you to predict the change in reaction rate increase the pressure D. decrease the concentration increase the concentration
Which of the following statements is false. Catalysts make a reaction rate go faster by providing a different route for the same reaction to proceed that requires less input energy. Increasing the concentration increases the rate of a reaction because more molecules are available in the same amount of space leading to more collisions with the correct orientation. Adding energy increases the rate of a reaction because more collisions happen with enough energy to break the bonds. Increasing the pressure by adding an inert gas increases the rate of reaction by causing more collisions.
Increasing the temperature of the reactants increases the fraction of the reacting species that collide with energies equal to or greater than the free energy/activation energy. Another factor that can affect whether or not molecules react is their orientation/bond length toward one another when they collide. Molecules with incorrect bond lengths/orientations will not react even if they successfully collide.
Restate the collision theory in your own words. Apply the concepts of collision theory to determine if the rate of reaction between zinc metal and hydrochloric acid will either increase or decrease under the following conditions: Decreasing the temperature of the hydrochloric acid Increasing the concentration of the hydrochloric acid Adding a catalyst to the reaction
