Learning Objectives
At the end of the Lesson you will be able to:
a. Classify reactions that are fast or slow;
b. Explain the collision theory;
c. Differentiate exothermic and endothermic reaction;
d. Describe the effects of temperature, concentration, particle size, and catalyst on a reaction based on the collision
theory;
e. Illustrate the effect of a catalyst on activation energy; and
f. Cite examples from everyday life, industry on factors affecting reaction rates.
Part 1.
Directions: Write F if you think the reaction is fast and S if it is a slow reaction.
Write your answer on the space provided before each number.
_____1. Decay of wood
_____2. Growth of plants
_____3. Disintegration of plastics
_____4. Burning of paper

Now, let us check your work. Ask the key answer from your teacher. How many correct answers have you got? Do
not be sad if you got a low score, we are just getting started. Now let us have another activity.

Chemical reactions are everywhere. You may encounter it in your daily life such as when you digest
food or cook your favorite dish and many more. With your curious mind, have you ever wondered how
the chemical reaction takes place? Let us find out how!
The Collision Theory
One way to qualitatively explain a chemical reaction and at rates which they occur is through the
collision theory. This explains why some reactions are fast and slow.
You have learned that certain conditions should be met for a collision to lead the formation of products.
Let us go more deeply in understanding the process.
Activation Energy
The minimum amount of energy
that reactant particles must
Endothermic Reactions
The potential energy of the products is higher than that of the reactants, so heat is being absorbed.
Exothermic Reactions
The product molecules have lower potential energy than the reactants, so heat is being
released.
There are four factors that affect the rate of reaction, these are the (1) concentration of the
reactants, (2) temperature, (3) particle size, and (4) catalyst.
