SHS- Physical Science (Rates of Chemical Reaction)
I. Introductory Concept
As the famous saying goes “nothing is permanent in this world except the word
‘change’.” Everything that surrounds us undergoes transformation — from the food
that fills our stomach, to the basic necessities that we use every day, to the stars and
heavenly bodies that light up our skies and even you. Yes, you. You undergo a
series of transformation every single day. Since well before the beginning of
recorded history,
natural substances have been purposely changed into new products. The changes
brought about by humans for their own use include conversion of natural clay into
pottery, limestone rock into building materials, and metals, like silver and gold, into
jewelry pieces. In this module, you will investigate how these changes occur, how
fast or slow these changes happen and what are the examples of these changes that
we see in our daily lives.
II. Learning Competency

MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES
A. Use simple collision theory to explain the effects of concentration,
temperature and particle size on the rate of reaction. (S11/12PS-IIf-23)
B. Define catalyst and describe how it affects reaction rate (S11/12PS-IIf-24)
UNPACKED LEARNING OBJECTIVES

✓ explain the requirements of the collision theory;
✓ discuss the effects of concentration, temperature, particle size and
catalyst on the reaction rate; and
✓ cite examples of chemical reactions in the household and in the
community.

III. Activities
ACTIVITY 1: PHYSICAL CHANGE OR CHEMICAL CHANGE?
Identify what kind of change occurs by writing the word Physical change or
Chemical change.
REMEMBER:
A physical change is one that involves no change in the fixed composition of the
substance in question – only rearrangement of the molecules with respect to one
another.
However, chemical change or chemical reaction occurs when the composition of a
substance is changed into another substance. It involves change in color, odor,
taste and release of gases.

KEEP THIS IN MIND:
Reactions proceed at different rates. Some are slow, while others are fast. When a
reaction occurs slowly, it is described to have a low rate of reaction. If a reaction
occurs fast, it has a high rate of reaction.
The energetics, mechanism, and rate of a chemical reaction are explained by the
collision
theory. According to this theory, for a chemical reaction to proceed, there should be
an
effective collision between the reactant particles. For this to happen, two
requirements
should be met.
• Reactants must be in their proper orientation. Proper orientation or alignment of

the reactant particles allow for effective bond formation during collision. Particles
that are not properly oriented are likely to bounce back unreacted; hence no
products
are formed.
• Molecules must possess enough energy to initiate a reaction. The minimum
amount of energy that the reactant particles must possess to initiate the reaction is
referred to as activation energy. This energy is associated to a hump in a path. For
a reaction to occur, the reacting particles must possess enough energy to jump over
the hump. Each reaction has its own unique activation energy. A large activation
energy results in a slow reaction; a small activation energy gives a fast reaction.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTION
Rate-of-Reaction.png?ssl=1
• Temperature – if the temperature of a reaction system is increased, the average

speed of the particles is also increased. This means that at higher temperatures,
more collisions can happen between and among particles with an energy that is
sufficient enough to surpass the activation energy of the reaction. More collisions

mean a higher possibility for successful reactions, resulting in a faster reaction.
•Concentration – increasing the concentration means increasing the amount of
reacting species per unit volume. This increases the probability of collision between
the reactant particles because they are closer together.
• Surface Area – in chemical reactions, if one of the reactants
Rate-of-Reaction.png?ssl=1 is solid, the surface
area of the solid will affect the rate of chemical reaction. The greater the surface
area, the greater frequency of collisions between reacting particles; hence, the faster

the reaction.
• Catalyst – is a substance that increases the rate of a reaction by providing an
alternative pathway for the reaction to occur; that is, one with a lower activation
energy. A catalyst remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.

reaction to occur these are _______________________________________,

__________________, _____________________ and _________________.
8. Increasing the concentration of reactants in a solution
______________________ the frequency of collision of particles and the rate

9. Increasing the concentration means, there is more of ________________
in the solution.
10. Increasing the temperature _________________________ the collision of
particles.
11. Increasing the temperature _________________________ the kinetic
energy of particles.
12. The greater the size of particles, the _________________________ is the
surface area.
