Year 10 Semester One Revision Sheet 5

1. Give two examples of fast chemical reactions.

2. Give two examples of slow chemical reactions.

3. List five factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction.

4. Increasing the temperature of the reactants increases the rate of a chemical

reaction in two different ways. Explain these two different ways.

5. Explain why, when you cook biscuits, you heat them by putting them in the oven.

6. Explain why you put milk in the fridge.

7. Describe and explain the effect of increasing the concentration of a reactant on

the rate of a reaction.

8. What is agitation and how does it increase the rate of a reaction?

9. How is the surface area of a reactant increased and what is the effect of doing
this on the rate of a chemical reaction.
