What is Rate of Reaction?

Rate of reaction is how quickly a chemical reaction takes place.
It depends on the frequency of successful collisions between reacting particles.
A successful collision has enough energy and correct orientation to react.

Factors Affecting Rate of Reaction

Temperature: Higher temperature → particles move faster → more frequent and energetic collisions → faster rate.
Concentration/Pressure: Higher concentration or pressure → more particles in same volume → more collisions → faster rate.
Surface Area: Breaking solid into smaller pieces increases surface area to volume ratio → more collisions on surface → faster rate.
Catalyst: A substance that increases rate without being used up; provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy.

Measuring Rate of Reaction

Change in mass: For reactions producing a gas, measure mass loss over time (e.g., magnesium + hydrochloric acid → hydrogen gas escapes).
Volume of gas: Collect gas in a gas syringe and measure volume produced over time.
Precipitation: Time how long for a precipitate to form (e.g., sodium thiosulfate + HCl → yellow sulfur; use a black cross to observe cloudiness).
Colour change: Time how long for a colour change to occur.

Example: Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid

Reaction: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂ (hydrogen gas produced).
Rate can be measured by mass loss (escaping hydrogen) or gas volume in a syringe.
Using magnesium powder (higher surface area) gives a faster rate than large pieces.

Example: Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid

Reaction: Na₂S₂O₃ + 2HCl → 2NaCl + SO₂ + S + H₂O (yellow sulfur precipitate).
Place flask over a black cross; time until cross is no longer visible due to cloudiness.
Increasing concentration or temperature of HCl increases rate (faster precipitation).

Particle arrangement in solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, particles are closely packed in a regular pattern; in liquids, they are close but irregular; in gases, they are far apart and move randomly. Higher temperature increases particle speed and collision frequency.

What does the phrase 'rate of reaction' mean?

It means how quickly a chemical reaction takes place.

What does the rate of reaction depend on?

It depends on the frequency of successful collisions between reacting particles.

How does temperature affect the rate of reaction?

Higher temperatures cause particles to move more quickly, increasing the frequency and energy of collisions, thus increasing the rate of reaction.
