Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.86 Collision Theory and Reaction Rate Factors skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the catalyst-surface-area diagram. The same gas mixture and temperature are used, but one setup has many more exposed catalyst active sites. Which explanation best predicts the rate change?

AGas particles have higher average kinetic energy even though temperature is the same

BReactant concentration automatically doubles because the catalyst is present

CThe balanced equation changes so atoms no longer need to be conserved

DMore active sites provide more places where properly oriented collisions can follow the lower-energy pathway

Solution & Explanation:Increasing exposed catalyst surface can provide more active sites for collisions and orientation on the lower-energy pathway. It does not change temperature, concentration, or atom conservation.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which answer gives the most complete collision-theory explanation for concentration, temperature, surface area, orientation, and catalysts?

AThey all work only by changing the final mass of product

BThey all remove the need for particles to collide

CThey affect collision frequency, collision energy, collision access, orientation, or activation-energy pathway

DThey all change the chemical formulas of the reactants

Solution & Explanation:The major rate factors operate through different particle-level mechanisms: frequency, energy, access to surfaces, orientation, and lower-energy pathways.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A catalyzed trial at 25 C is faster than an uncatalyzed trial at 40 C. Which statement best explains how that can happen?

ACatalysts work by preventing all collisions

BLowering activation energy can increase the successful-collision fraction more than warming does in that comparison

CThe 25 C particles must have more average kinetic energy than the 40 C particles

DUncatalyzed reactions cannot occur at any temperature

Solution & Explanation:A catalyst changes the energy barrier. In some comparisons, reducing Ea can make more collisions successful than a moderate temperature increase without a catalyst.
