1 What is the collision theory, and how does it relate to reaction rates?
Particles must collide and break the existing bonds so they can form new ones. They need the correct orientation and enough energy.
2 According to the collision theory, what must happen in order for two molecules to react?
Correct orientation & enough energy
3 How is the speed of a chemical reaction related to the nature of the reactants?
(gases) >>> (liquids) >> (solids)
4 How do temperature, concentration, and surface area affect the rate of a chemical reaction

Rate

5 How does the activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction compare with that of the catalyzed reaction?
Catalyzed = lower activation energy
6 Explain why a crushed solid reacts with a gas more quickly than a large chunk of the same solid.
More exposed surface area
7 What is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the reaction?
Catalyst
8 Explain how a catalyst affects the activation energy for a chemical reaction.
It lowers the activation energy by taking a different pathway

9 Hydrogen bromide is added to a solution of potassium hydrogen carbonate to produce potassium bromide, hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide gas. The temperature of
the solution goes up.
