Explain collision theory and rates of reaction

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 4

Rate increase from collision frequency

A collision model in a environmental sampling task has successful collision rate \(7\) per second. A change increases collision frequency by factor \(3\). Calculate the new rate. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
