Reaction Rates

Reaction Rates

  • The rate of reaction is influenced by temperature, pressure, concentration, surface area, and catalysts.
  • Collision theory and Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution explain these effects.
  • A key practical aspect is measuring rates of reaction.
  • Learn the apparatus set-up, drawing and interpreting graphs of reactants or products over time, calculating rate of reaction using gradients, and identifying sources of error.
