| reaction rate | amount of product formed or reactant consumed in a given time |
| speed | amount of distance traveled in a time interval |
| collision theory | rate of a chemical reaction depends on the number of collisions between molecules |
| activation energy | the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur |
| catalyst | a substance that can increase the rate of reaction without being consumed |
| enzymes | certain proteins that act as catalysts in your body |
| activated complex | high-energy arrangement of reactant molecules |
| reaction mechanism | sequence of reactions that produce a final end product |
| rate-determining step | the slowest reaction in a reaction mechanism |
| manometer | pressure-measuring device |
| rate of reaction | an increase in temperature will increase the_____ |
| high potential energy | once a ball reaches its activation energy the kinetic energy becomes______ |
