Kinetics and Equilibrium · Thermodynamics

Collision Theory and Rates

Investigating how temperature, concentration, and catalysts affect the frequency and energy of collisions.

Key Questions

  1. 1What must happen at the particle level for a collision to result in a successful reaction?
  2. 2How do catalysts lower the activation energy without being consumed in the process?
  3. 3Why does increasing surface area accelerate the rate of a heterogeneous reaction?
