Joe Gill 10DJ RATE OF REACTION RESEARCH ABOUT RATE OF REACTION Chemical reactions take place at different rates. Some reactions take place very quickly e.g. explosions, others happen very slowly e.g. the rusting of iron. Many more reactions have a moderate rate. For a chemical reaction to take place the reactants must collide. However, not all collisions are successful. For a reaction to take place the reactants must collide with more than a specific amount of energy. This energy is different for all reactions and is called the activation energy. The rate of any reaction depends upon:> THE NUMBER OF SUCESSFUL COLLISIONS PER SECOND The more successful collisions there are per second, the faster the rate of reactions. The rate of a chemical reaction can be affected by a number of different factors. These are: 1. Temperature Increasing the temperature of the reactants increases the rate of reaction. This is because, as the reactants get hotter...
