CHEMICAL

KINETICS
Mr. Edd Villamor
What is Chemical Kinetics
• the branch of physical chemistry that is
concerned with understanding the rates
of chemical reactions.
Thermodynamics
– does a reaction take place?

Kinetics
– how fast does a reaction proceed?
What happens during a
Chemical Reaction?
Collision Theory
1. Particles must collide
2. Sufficient energy
3. Correct orientation
How do you speed up a
Chemical Reaction?
Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction
1. Nature of Reactants
2. Temperature

3. Surface Area exposed

4. Concentration
5. Catalyst
What is a catalyst?
