Rate of Reaction
Amount of recatant/ Time Taken
Factors affection Rate Of Reaction
Temperature, Concentration, Surface Area and Catalysts
Minimum amount of energy needed to cause a reaction
Activation Energy
What does a catalyst do
Reduces activation energy : collisions more likely to be successful - provides alternative reaction pathway
Speeds up reacction
provides surface for molecules to attach to
Le Chateliers Principle
If a system at the equilibrium is subjected to a change the system will adjust to counteract the change
Equilibrium Shifts LEFT
Products - decrease
Reactants - Increase
Equilibrium shifts RIGHT
Products - increase
Reactants - decrease
