PART 1: COLLISION THEORY

Follow the links below to complete the assignment. Some animations may take a while to load so be patient!

A. Watch: Ted ED “How to get a Date”

http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-to-speed-up-chemical-reactions-and-get-a-date

 While watching, take 10 bullet points of notes on how to speed up chemical reactions.

 Click “Think” tab and take the quiz. Write the answers here in complete sentences (yes, I mean
it this time).

B. Visit: The Collision Theory of Reaction Rates –


(http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/basicrates/introduction.html)

 Read the information describing the collision theory. Answer the questions that follow.

1. It is pretty obvious that if you have a situation involving two reactants they can only react together
if they come into contact with each other. They first have to collide, and then they may react. Why
is the term "may react" used?

2. What is activation energy?

3. Describe the significance of the Maxwell – Boltzmann Distribution Curve.

C. Watch: Orientation of Collisions – see link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?


v=IkqoBbFZV4Q

Explain, in your own words, what “Orientation of Collisions” means.

D. Watch: ActivationEnergy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKRcXfqBIJg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVLmBat3B80
Sketch a potential energy diagram of the two following reaction coordinates (endothermic and
exothermic). Label all parts and briefly describe what is happening at each part of the reaction coordinate
curve (A, B, C, and D)

An Endothermic reaction An Exothermic Reaction

E. How does a Catalyst work?

Rate of Reaction WebQuest: Using the technology within your group, complete the notes for this lesson by
following the WebQuest directions below. Go to http://www.chem4kids.com/files/react_rates.html to start!
1. The rate of reaction is the speed at which a reaction happens. Describe the difference between what is
happening during a reaction with a low rate and a reaction with a high rate.

2. What is the collision theory?

3. Concentration, Temperature & Pressure can affect the rate of a reaction. Fill in the table below to
describe how they affect the rate of reaction, and also how they relate to collision theory.

PART 2: SCROLL BACK UP TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE. ON THE MENU TO THE RIGHT,
CLICK ON CATALYSTS AND INHIBITORS

4. Chemical reactions need energy to occur. Describe what a catalyst and inhibitor do to a chemical reaction
and how they each relate to energy.

Catalyst - Inhibitor –

PART 3: Go to http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/basicratesmenu.html#top to learn about surface


area…you can click on the others to double check your answer to the previous questions as well.
What about surface area?

5. Increasing the surface area will _____________ the reaction rate.

6. How do you increase something’s surface area?


Draw a picture to demonstrate this concept:

PART 4: Making predictions


 Pretend you are dissolving Alka-Seltzer in water and changing factors to make the Alka-Seltzer dissolve factor.
 Determine which factor is affecting the reaction rate and predict what will cause the reaction to occur the
