Chapter 12, Problem 22QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for an increase in the rate of reaction with an increase in the concentration of one or more reactants according to the collision theory is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Every reaction in this universe follows a particular pace. This particular rate at which reaction occurs is known as the rate of reaction. The conditions that affect the rate of reaction are temperature, reactant concentration, surface area, and catalyst.

For the formation of a particular product, the reactants have to collide in a particular orientation or effective orientation and at the same time, they have to cross the energy barrier for which they require activation energy.
