Collision frequency provides an upper limit on how fast a reaction can take place. The laws of probability tell us that the number of collisions depends on the of the number of reactant particles, not their O sum; product O product; sum

When every collision between reactants leads to a reaction, what determines the rate at which the reaction occurs?
Which of the following is most closely related to the term "reaction rate"? The position of equilibrium when a reaction stops The temperature needed to initiate a reaction The percent yield of a product in a reaction The reversibility of a reaction The speed of a reaction Collision theory assumes that the rate of a reaction depends on... only the orientation of colliding molecules. only the frequency of collisions. the frequency and energy of collisions and the orientation of colliding molecules. the change in free energy between the reactants and products. the change in energy between the products and the reactants.

Which of the following statements is not true? For a collision to result in a reaction, molecules can collide in any orientation. The more frequently collisions occur, the faster the reaction rate will be. For a reaction to occur, the collision must be energetic enough for there to be mutual penetration of the valence shells of the reacting species. Given the following rate law, how does the rate of reaction change if the concentration of Y is doubled? Rate = k [X][Y]2 The rate of reaction will remain unchanged. The rate of reaction will increase by a factor of 2. The rate of reaction will increase by a factor of 5. The rate of reaction will increase by a factor of 3. The rate of reaction will increase by a factor of 4.
