Rates of Reaction Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• endothermic : a reaction that absorbs energy from the surroundings.
• collision theory : theory that for a reaction to occur, particles must collide with sufficient energy.
• reversible reaction : a chemical reaction that can proceed in both forward and reverse directions.
• surface area : the total area of a solid that is available to react, affecting the rate of reaction.
• rate : the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs.
• concentration : the amount of a substance in a given volume of solution.
• activation energy : the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur.
• pressure : a factor that affects the rate of reaction, particularly in gaseous reactions.
• catalyst : a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up.
• equilibrium : the state in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
• exothermic : a reaction that releases energy, usually in the form of heat.
• reactants : substances that are consumed during a chemical reaction.
• temperature : a factor affecting reaction rate; higher temperature increases the rate of reaction.
• products : substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
