Collision Theory and Maxwell-Boltzmann

A- Molecules in Motion:

Temperature: When you increase the temperature, the particles move faster because they have higher kinetic energy and so the number of collisions is more and so is the rate of reaction.

More temperature = more collisions = faster rate of reaction

Concentration (#): the more the number of particles reacting, the more collisions that occur and so faster rate of reaction

More Particles = more collisions = faster rate of reaction

Join now!

Mass: the more the mass of the particles reacting is, the slower they move and so less numbers of collisions which leads to slower rate of reaction

More mass = less number of collisions = slower rate of reaction

B- Gas Molecules Stimulation:

1- What happens to Particles Speed as the Temperature increases?

        The speed of the particles increases significantly as the heater temperature increases

2- Does the shape of the Velocity Histogram changes as temperature increases? Why or Why not?

        The shape of the velocity histogram does not change when the temperature changes because ...
