a. Predict what will happen to the rate of the reaction for each variable: increased temperature, decreased temperature, increased concentration (number of particles), decreased concentration (number of particles). Explain your predictions in terms of effective collisions.
Increased temperature: Increasing the temperature will cause the Reactants to move quicker, which will allow more effective reactions.
Decreased temperature: Decreasing the temperature will make the Reactants move slower, causing less effective reactions.
Decreased concentration: Increasing the concentration (less reactants) will provide a lesser probability of collisions, causing less effective reactions.
b. Test your prediction with the simulation and record observations.
c. Explain your observations. Were all of your predictions correct? Which tests changed your thinking about reaction rates? How did the simulation change your prediction?
Our predictions were correct, though the high speed and movement on some tests proved difficult to determine.
