    Worksheet: Reaction Rates Name______________

    1. A study of reaction _______________ is called chemical


    ________________.
    2. Reaction rate refers to how quickly or slowly the _______________
    disappear and the _______________ appear. It is measured in terms of the
    _______________ of the reactants.

    3. If a reaction is to occur, reacting particles must first _______________ and


    this ______________ must be effective. What are the TWO characteristics
    of an effective collision?

    4. What are the FIVE major factors that affect reaction rate?

    5. Why would a mixture of gases react faster when the volume they occupy is
    decreased?

    6. Why would iron filings rust faster than an iron nail?

    7. What is the effect of a catalyst on the required energy to achieve effective


    collisions?

    8. ENZYMES act as catalysts in our bodies. Have you ever noticed that your
    hands seem to get “stiff” when they get cold? The reason is that these enzyme
    reactions causing the muscles to contract __________ down when your hands
    are cold so you can’t contract your muscles as fast and your hands feel stiff!
    Decreasing temperature (decreases, increases) the rate of reaction.

    9. Enzymes are in molds and bacteria that spoil food. Explain, using your
    knowledge of factors affecting the rate of reaction, why food doesn’t spoil as
    fast when it is refrigerated as it would at room temperature.

    10. Due to decomposition reactions with oxygen or carbon dioxide in the air, meat
    begins to feel slimy and smell spoiled. Explain, using your knowledge of chemical
    kinetics, why meat spoils less rapidly when left unsliced.

    11. Based on your knowledge of factors affecting the rate of reaction, why is there
    a danger of explosions in places such as silos and coal mines where there are
    large quantities of powdered, combustible materials?
