About This Topic

This topic investigates the effects of concentration, temperature, and surface area on reaction rates. Students will use the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution to explain temperature effects.

Key Questions

  1. How does concentration affect reaction rate?
  2. Why does a small increase in temperature cause a large increase in rate?
  3. What does the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution show?
