Chapter 12, Problem 3QC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of concentration, temperature, and catalyst on molecular collisions and reaction rates is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Every reaction occurring in Universe is following a particular pace. This particular rate at which a 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.
