#1
Front (Question)

Draw: A Maxwell - Boltzmann Distrubution Curve

Back (Answer)

Refer to notes for answer: Y-axis - number of particles X-axis - Energy Peak of curve - Most Probable energy Average energy - 1/2 area Activation energy - particles above are reacting Aymptote at the end

#2
Front (Question)

Explain how increasing concentration of a substance affects the rate of reaction

Back (Answer)

Increase in concentration increases the number of particles per unit volume. There are more frequent succesful collisions and so the rate of reaction is faster.

#3
Front (Question)

Explain how increasing surface area affects the rate of reaction

Back (Answer)

Increased surface area means there is a higher area for particles to collide. There are more frequent succesful collision, and so the rate of reaction increases.

#4
Front (Question)

Explain how an increase in temperature affects the rate of reaction

Back (Answer)

Increasing temperature means there is more kinetic energy so the particles move faster. There are more frequent succesful collisions with the minimum activation energy and so there is an increased rate of reaction.

#5
Front (Question)

Explain how the addition of a catalyst affects the rate of reaction.

Back (Answer)

A catalyst provides an alternate route with a lower activation energy. This means there are more frequent succesful collisions, and a faster rate of reaction occurs.

#6
Front (Question)

#10
Front (Question)

What is: The Maxwell-Boltzmann Distrubution Curve

Back (Answer)

It shows the distrubution of molecular energy in a sample of gas
