    *CHEMICAL KINETICS Collision theory and rates of reaction *One of the main considerations when examining chemical reaction is whether it will take place fast enough for it to be useful. *In other words‚ there’s no point carrying out a reaction if it takes 150 years to form the product! *Many chemical reactions occur very quickly. *Studying Reaction Rates *Defined as the change in concentration of reactants of products per unit time. *Units: mol dm¯³ s¯¹ *Rate of Reaction * ‚  the

    Collision Theory The theory proposes that molecules must collide in a particular way with a certain amount of energy to ultimately form a new product. This is because only a select portion of molecules during a reaction have enough energy and the correct orientation to break any existing bonds to form new ones at the moment of impact with other reactants. The very minimum amount of energy needed for this process to occur is referred to as activation energy. Collision theory explains why reaction

    .Experiment for Chemistry Coursework For this investigation I am looking at how the concentration of acid can change the reaction and how I can explain this using collision theory. My Prediction: I predict that the greater amount of concentration the faster the reaction will take place. Therefore‚ particles in the two compounds will collide faster. Due to my prediction if it is correct‚ I expect to see the cross on the paper disappear faster. As I already know that increasing one quantity
