Thermochemistry and Rates of Reaction · Thermodynamics
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
Investigating how concentration, surface area, and catalysts influence reaction speed.
Key Questions
- 1How does a catalyst provide an alternative pathway for a reaction?
- 2Why does increasing the surface area of a solid reactant speed up a reaction?
- 3What evidence do we have for the formation of an activated complex?
