Rates of Reaction Aim: To find out the affect of changing the concentration on the rate of reaction Scientific background Collision theory: Collision theory explains how chemical reactions occur and why rates of reaction differ. For a reaction to occur, particles must collide. If the collision causes a chemical change it is referred to as a fruitful collision and it's a Theory that explains how chemical reactions take place and why rates of reaction change? For a reaction to occur the reactant particles must collide. Only a certain fraction of the total collisions cause chemical change these are called fruitful collisions. The fruitful collisions have enough energy (activation energy) at the moment of impact to break the existing bonds and form new bonds, resulting in the products of the reaction. Increasing the concentration of the reactants and raising the temperature bring about more collisions and therefore more fruitful collisions, increasing the rate...
