Which statement best describes why increasing pressure of a reaction involving gases will increase the rate of reaction? Increasing the pressure increases the surface area of the reactants. O Increasing the pressure increases the kinetic energy of the reactants and will lead to more effective collisions. Increasing the pressure decreases the relative space of the reaction vessel and will lead to more collisions. Increasing the pressure increases the amount of reactants and will lead to more collisions.

How does a common intermediate couple two chemicalreactions?
Answer the 1st question
The rate of a reaction is how quickly the reaction goes to completion. If two reactions have the same amount of reactant, increasing the rate does not increase the amount of product produced, it simply reduces the time that it takes to make the product. Using the internet, research the Reactant concentration factor below that affect the rate of a chemical reaction. 1. Reactant concentration (be very detailed add graphs to explain your details it should be 300 words) Your work should be written in complete sentences, and assume your audience is grade 11 chemistry students who do not understand this unit. Make sure all research is put into your own words!
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
In a chemical reaction, why don't all collisions between reacting molecules result in product formation?
Select all of the following that are required for a chemical reaction to occur according to the collision model: molecules must collide molecular collisions must be properly oriented to allow new bonds to form to create products molecular collisions must meet or exceed a minimal energy threshold (energy of activation) collisions of molecules of the same chemical species will not yield a chemical reaction
Write the balanced reaction that corresponds to the data in graph.
Using the collision model for a chemical change, desciebe from a molecular viewpoint how diluting the solutions by adding water prior to mixing will decrease the rate of the reaction

1. Reactions that occur in the gaseous state are affected by changing the volume of the container. Which choice best describes what will happen to the reaction if the volume of the container is decreased? The reaction will shift right. The reaction will shift left. The reaction will not change. The reaction will speed up.
What does a catalyst do to speed the reaction rate? It increases the concentration of the reactants. It lowers the activation energy. O It increases the kinetic energy of the reactants. It increases the temperature of the reaction. O It increases the number of collisions between the reactants.
After adding a catalyst, what did you notice about the reaction rate?
