with the particles of the other reactants is _______. Thus, the frequency of collision among the reacting
particles ________. The frequency of effective collision _______ and hence, the rate of reaction_________.

b) Effect of concentration and pressure

An increase in the concentration of the solution of a reactant or in the pressure of gaseous reactant will result
in an _________ in the rate of reaction.

reactant also _________. Thus, the frequency of collision among the reacting particles ________. The
frequency of effective collision _______ and hence, the rate of reaction_________.
 c) Effect of temperature
An increase in the temperature will increase the ________________ of the reacting particles.
The particles move _______ and collide more often with one another. Thus, the frequency of collision
________. More colliding particles have_____ energy which are enough to overcome the activation energy.
The frequency of effective collision _______ and hence, the rate of reaction_________.
Effect of catalyst
The presence of a catalyst in a chemical reaction allows the reaction to take place through an alternative path
which required a ________ in activation energy which can be shown in the energy profile diagram. Thus, the
colliding particles are able to achieve the activation energy. This means that the frequency of effective
collision _______ and hence, a ____ rate of reaction.
