Chemistry: Reaction Rates

Define reaction rate. Explain how chemical reactions occur and describe two factors that determine the rates of reactions. Describe the effects of temperature pressure concentration and surface area on reaction rates. Define catalyst. Describe how adsorption catalysts work. Explain how some catalysts can become poisoned. Describe how catalysts work by forming an intermediate product during a reaction. Define equilibrium and equilibrium point. Describe the effects of temperature and pressure on an equilibrium reaction. Describe one way that products can be stabilized.
