What is temperature
measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
What is activation energy
the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.
state the name for the unstable arrangement of atoms
activated complex
Why does increasing temperature increase the rate of a chemical recation
increases the number of particles with energy equal to or greater than the activation energy more successful collisions
What methods can be used to separate chemicals with different boiling points
distillation
What method can be used to separate chemicals due to different polarity or size
Chromatography
What is the activated complex
an unstable arrangement of atoms
What does the catalyst do to the reaction pathway
provides an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy
What do activated complex need to do to become stable
lose energy fall back to reactants lose energy and form products
What is volatility
how easily a substance evaporates
