Question
Select all that applyHow are the rates of chemical reactions related to collisions between reacting particles?Multiple select question.Reacting substances must collide in the correct orientation.Reacting substances (atoms, ions, or molecules) must collide.Reacting substances must collide at slow enough speeds for energy transfer to occur.Reacting substances must collide with sufficient energy to form an activated complex.
Solution
The rates of chemical reactions are related to collisions between reacting particles in the following ways:
- Reacting substances must collide in the correct orientation.
- Reacting substances (atoms, ions, or molecules) must collide.
- Reacting substances must collide with sufficient energy to form an activated complex.
The statement "Reacting substances must collide at slow enough speeds for energy transfer to occur" is not correct. In fact, reacting substances must collide with a certain minimum energy, known as the activation energy, for a reaction to occur. This is often a high-speed collision.
