What do chemical reaction need to occur?

1. Collision

2. Correct molecular orientation

3. Activation energy
Collision
 if there is no physical contact between molecules, there no chemical reaction

molecular orientation
Not every collision result in an reaction
Activation energy
 The molecules must have enough energy for the reaction to occur because
existing bonds must be broken and new bonds must be formed

Kinds of reactions

Endothermic, at the end of the

reaction there is energy lost.

Exothermic, at the end there is

energy gained
Transition state
 It is point where the compound is broken down, and the start for the
new bonds to form
Arrhenius equation

e-Ka /RT represents the fraction of collisions with sufficient energy to produce a reaction
The more you increase the (T) the more the (K) increase, because of the –Ea
(A) Represents the amount of collisions with effective orientation.

(R) is the gas constant = 8.3145 joule/ mol. kal

This is a linear equation of the type y = mx + b

Where (y) is the In(k), m = -Ea/R = slope, x = 1/T,

and b = ln(A)
