Reaction Rate
The speed with which products form from
the reactants.
Exo- and Endothermic Reactions
Exothermic reaction: reaction gives off energy.
DH <0 exothermic
DH >0 endothermic

Activation Energy
• Minimum amount of kinetic energy the
reactants must have in order to react.

Reaction Rates are affected by:
• Concentration
• Temperature
• Catalyst
• Surface Area (Particle Size)
• Mixing (Stirring)
Concentration Effect on Reaction
Rates
The more concentrated, the higher the reaction rate.
Why?

Temperature Effect on Reaction
Rates
Why?
Catalyst Effect on Reaction Rates
A catalyst lowers the activation energy, thus the
reaction proceeds faster.
Particle Size (Surface Area)
• The smaller the particle size the faster the
rate.
Inhibitors
• Substances that negate the effect of the
catalyst.
