Self Assessment Checklist
Speed of reaction | I can do this! | |
(a) | Describe the effect of concentration, pressure, particle size and temperature on the speeds of reactions and explain these effects in terms of collisions between reacting particles. | |
(b) | Define the term catalyst and describe the effect of catalysts (including enzymes) on the speeds of reactions. | |
(c) | Explain how pathways with lower activation energies account for the increase in speed of reaction. | |
(d) | State that some compounds act as catalysts in some industrial processes. | |
(e) | State that enzymes are biological catalysts. | |
(f) | Suggest a suitable method for investigating the effect of a particular variable on the speed of a reaction. | |
(g) | Interpret experimental data obtained from experimental investigations on the speed of reaction. |
