Graph interpretation
2 days agoAt which point is the rate of reaction greatest on a gas-volume graph?
Your answer
At the final point where volume is highest
Correct answer
At the steepest part of the curve
How to fix it
Remember: rate = gradient, not total gas volume. The steeper the curve, the faster the reaction.

Catalyst explanation
4 days agoHow does a catalyst speed up a reaction?
Your answer
It gives particles more energy
Correct answer
It provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy
How to fix it
Catalysts do not increase particle energy. They lower the activation energy so more collisions are successful.

Concentration vs temperature
1 week agoWhy does increasing concentration speed up a reaction?
Your answer
Particles have more energy when collided
Correct answer
More particles per volume → more frequent collisions
How to fix it
Concentration increases collision frequency, not collision energy. Only temperature changes energy.
