In the Classroom
Putting Reaction Rates and Collision Theory in the Hands of Your Students
Andy Evenson

Vol. 79 No. 7
p. 822
Abstract
This article describes a simulation that can be used to give concrete analogies of collision theory and the factors that affect reaction rates, including temperature, concentration, catalyst, and molecular orientation. The simulation is a dry-laboratory exercise and makes use of materials that are easily accessible at most department stores. The students involved in this one-period simulation easily master the abstract concepts of reaction rates and collision theory. The simulation works best if done as an introduction to the concepts to help prevent misconceptions about reaction rates and collision theory.
