Rate of Reactions
Fast or Slow Reactions
• Extremely slow reactions
– Iron rusting
– Limestone weathering
• Extremely fast reactions
– Explosion
Measuring
Rate of Reactions
• Some rate of reactions have detectable
change with respect to time
• Changes that are observable like
– When a volume of gas is given off
– When there is a change in mass during the
reaction
– When there are temperature changes
– When there are colour changes
– When a precipitate forms
– When there are pH changes
Collision Theory
• For a reaction to occur
– The reacting particles must collide into
each other
– The reacting particles must possess
enough activation energy
• Once products are formed, effective
collisions have occurred
Factors affecting
Rate of Reactions
• Temperature of the substances used
(reactants)
• Concentration of the substances
used (reactants)
• Pressure on the reaction
• Particle size (surface area) of the
substances used (reactants)
• Presence of catalyst
Temperature
• Rate of reaction increases with increasing
temperature
• High temperature, particles have greater
heat energy
• Particles move faster with greater kinetic
energy
• Leading to more collisions between
particles
• Increased probability of effective collision
• Reactions take place faster
• Speed of reaction doubles
when the temperature
rises by 10 C

Higher temperature
Lower temperature
Concentration
• Rate of reaction increases with
increasing concentration
• Higher concentration, more reacting
particles are present
• Greater probability of an effective
collision
• Faster rate of reaction
Concentration

Pressure
• Rate of reaction increases with
increasing pressure
• Higher pressures, reacting particles
are closer together
• Increasing concentration per unit
volume
• Greater probability of an effective
collision
• Faster rate of reaction
Pressure

Time/s
Higher pressure
Lower pressure
Particle Size
• Rate of reaction increases when particle
size decreases
• Smaller particles has greater surface area
than larger particles of the same mass
• Greater surface area for collision by
another reacting particle
• Greater probability of an effective collision
• Faster rate of reaction
Particle size
Amt of product formed
Time/s
Smaller particle size
Larger particle size
Catalyst
• Presence of catalyst increases rate of
reaction
• (Presence of inhibitors decreases rate of
reaction)
• Catalysts lower activation energy of
reactants
• Aids the formation of unstable intermediate
products
• Increases probability of formation of
products
• Faster rate of reaction

Definition: A substance which
increases the rate of a chemical
reaction by providing an alternative
pathway with a lower activation
energy but remains unchanged at
the end of the reaction
