Effect of temp. on reaction rate

Higher temp. = faster reaction rate

Collision theory

Particles must crash with enough energy to react

Activation energy

Minimum energy needed for a reaction to occur

Effect of heating on particle speed

Particles move faster, have more kinetic energy

Effect of temp. on collision frequency

Higher temp. = more frequent collisions

Effect of temp. on collision energy

Higher temp. = higher energy collisions

Why more reactions succeed at higher temp.

More particles have energy to overcome activation energy

Does activation energy change with temp.?

No, it stays the same

What changes with temp. regarding energy barrier

Number of particles with enough energy to overcome it

Effect of temp. on successful collisions

Higher temp. = higher proportion of successful collisions

Zn + HCl reaction equation

Zn+2HClZnCl2+H2\text{Zn} + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{ZnCl}_2 + \text{H}_2

Why hot particles react more than cold

They move faster, collide more often and with more energy
