6.1a Collision theory

Check out this PHET simulation about rates of reaction: Reactions & Rates

 

Kinetic-molecular theory of gases (aka Kinetic theory of gases)

  1. Gases are large number of particles
  2. The size of particles are negligible
  3. Collision of the gas particles are completely elastic
  4. Average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to its temperature

In simple words, describe the KMT

Collision theory

Follow this, explain how temperature determine the rate of chemical reaction
