| 2351518853 | Reaction rates depends on | 1. reactant concentrations 2. temperature 3. surface area 4. environmental factors | 0 | |
| 2351521114 | rate law |  | 1 | |
| 2351521625 | rate constant (k) | 1. the proportionality constant in the rate law 2. depends on temperature 3. units vary | 2 | |
| 2351528067 | collision model | Elementary reactions are mediated by collisions between molecules. Only collisions having sufficient energy and proper relative orientation of reactants lead to products. | 3 | |
