    Collision Theory: Effective Collision Occurs When

    Uploaded by

    Li Ching Hoe
    The document discusses collision theory and factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions. Collision theory states that a reaction occurs when reactant particles collide with sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier. The rate of reaction depends on the frequency of effective collisions between particles that have enough energy. Factors like temperature, concentration, surface area, and use of catalysts can influence the rate by increasing the frequency and effectiveness of collisions between reactant particles.

    Collision Theory
    - Collision theory is a theory used to explain chemical reaction in terms of collisions between particles,
    effective collisions and activation energy.
    - A chemical reaction occurs when the reactant particles collide with each other.
    - Not all the collisions results in the formation of products.

    Effective collision occurs when:


    A. total energy greater than or equal to the activation energy. (Ea )
    B. correct orientation

    Activation energy:
    - Minimum amount of energy required initiating a chemical reaction.
    - Difference energy between the reactants and peak of the curve.

    Effect of catalyst

    When a positive catalyst is used,


     catalyst provides an alternative route which lower activation energy
     more particles will have enough energy to heat
     frequency of effective collision increases
     Rate of reaction increase
