Rates of Reaction By Jivan Jagdev Aim: To investigate the effect of increasing the concentration of Hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction. In gases and liquids, particles are in constant motion. It is clear that not all collisions are effective. Only small fractions of them seem to be 'successful' collisions. Particles in liquids and gases are moving at different speeds and colliding in different ways. Some collisions are 'head-on', while others are 'glancing' collisions. Like dodgem cars at the fair -glancing collisions are quite painless, head-on collisions between slow-moving cars are not to bad, but head on collisions between fast-moving cars hurt. The collisions between particles have a range of energies. Head-on collisions between fast-moving particles are the most energetic. If the colliding molecules have enough energy, the collision is successful, and the reaction occurs. The course of chemical reaction is like a high jump competition. The bar is set...
