use the kineticmolecular theory to explain why an increase in temperature increases reaction rate.
How does an increase in temperature affect rate of reaction? Explain this effect in terms of the collision theory of the reaction rate.
. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.
Many conditions need to be met to produce a chemical reaction between molecules. What if all collisions between molecules resulted in a chemical reaction? How would life be different?
Apply collision theory to explain why increasing the concentration of a reactant usually increases the reaction rate.
Substances that poison a catalyst pose a major concern for many engineering designs, including those for catalytic converters. One design option is to add materials that react with potential poisons before they reach the catalyst. Among the commonly encountered catalyst poisons are silicon and phosphorus, which typically form phosphate or silicate ions in the oxidizing environment of an engine. Group 2 elements are added to the catalyst to react with these contaminants before they reach the working portion of the catalytic converter. If estimates show that a catalytic converter will be exposed to 625 g of silicon during its lifetime, what mass of beryllium would need to be included in the design?
Define these terms: (a) unimolecular reaction (b) bimolecular reaction (c) elementary reaction (d) overall reaction
