Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.39 Reaction Rate Factors skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A lab group claims surface area caused a faster rate, but the faster trial also used warmer liquid. What critique is most valid?

AThe claim is about final amount, not rate, because time was measured.

BThe claim is proven because any faster trial must be caused only by surface area.

CThe comparison is confounded because temperature and surface area both changed.

DThe claim is impossible because surface area never affects rate.

Solution & Explanation:When more than one rate factor changes, the evidence cannot isolate a single cause.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A safe classroom reaction is too fast to measure accurately. Which redesign best slows it while preserving the same chemical reaction?

AUse a hotter, more concentrated solution.

BAdd a catalyst and crush the solid into powder.

CRun the same reactants at a lower temperature and lower concentration, without changing products.

DChange to different reactants and compare the old final volume.

Solution & Explanation:Lower temperature and concentration reduce effective collisions while keeping the reaction identity the same.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which explanation accurately combines all four rate factors in this skill?

ACatalysts increase rate only by adding more reactant particles to the mixture.

BSurface area and concentration change product identity, while temperature and catalysts only change color.

CHigher temperature, lower concentration, and smaller surface area all increase collisions, while catalysts are consumed.

DHigher temperature, higher concentration, and greater surface area increase successful collision opportunities, while catalysts lower activation energy.

Solution & Explanation:Temperature, concentration, and surface area affect collision energy or frequency; catalysts lower activation energy.
