Reaction Rate Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• chemical kinetics : the area of chemistry that focuses on how fast a reaction occurs
• reaction rate : the rate at which products are formed or reactants are consumed
• reactivity : the ability of reacting species that affects how fast a reaction occurs
• concentration : increasing this increases the frequency of collisions between molecules
• surface area : a greater exposed area of reactants results in a faster reaction
• temperature : directly related to the kinetic energy of particles
• kinetic energy : the energy of motion of particles
• activation energy : the energy requirement needed for a reaction to occur
• catalyst : a substance that increases reaction rate without being consumed
• mechanism : the series of steps that take place in a chemical reaction
• collisions : interactions between molecules that allow reactions to happen
