REACTION RATES AND REVERSIBLE REACTIONS
Definition of Reaction Rate and Collision Theory
Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Define rate of reaction and explain the term activation energy
-Describe collision theory and explain why not all collisions result in products
-Draw energy diagrams showing activation energy
-Explain how activation energy affects reaction rates
In groups, learners are guided to:
Q/A: Compare speeds of different reactions (precipitation vs rusting). Define reaction rate as "measure of how much reactants are consumed or products formed per unit time." Introduce collision theory: particles must collide with minimum energy (activation energy) for successful reaction. Draw energy diagram showing activation energy barrier. Discuss factors affecting collision frequency and energy.
