Reaction Rates

The rate of a chemical reaction measures how fast something takes place and is affected by many factors such as surface area, concentration, temperature, and catalysts.

AB
reaction rateamount of product formed or reactant consumed in a given time
speedamount of distance traveled in a time interval
collision theoryrate of a chemical reaction depends on the number of collisions between molecules
activation energythe minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur
catalysta substance that can increase the rate of reaction without being consumed
