When a catalyst is involved in the collision between the reactant molecules, less energy is required for the chemical change to take place, and hence more collisions have sufficient energy for reaction to occur. The reaction rate therefore increases.Collision theory is closely related to chemical kinetics.hen a catalyst is involved in the collision between the reactant molecules, less energy is required for the chemical change to take place, and hence more collisions have sufficient energy for reaction to occur. The reaction rate therefore increases. Collision theory is closely related to chemical kinetics.
At higher temperatures, the molecules of the reactants move faster; therefore, collisions occur more frequently, a higher percentage of collisions are effective, and the reaction rate increases. A general rule of thumb is that on average, the reaction rate doubles for every 10Â°C rise in temperature.n this experiment, you will study various conditions and the effect they have on the collision of molecules. You will observe the effects of temperature, concentration, particle size (surface area), and catalysts on the rates of chemical reactions and then explain these effects in terms of the collision theory.
