A-Level Chemistry – Kinetics Summary
Notes
(Edexcel / AQA / OCR – Pure Chemistry)




1. What is Kinetics?
●​ Kinetics studies the rate of chemical reactions — how fast reactants turn into
products.​

●​ Reaction rate depends on collision frequency and energy of collisions between
particles.​




2. Factors Affecting Reaction Rate
Factor Effect on Rate Explanation

Concentration Higher conc. → faster rate More particles in same volume → more
collisions

Pressure Higher pressure → faster More gas particles in volume → more
(gases) rate collisions

Surface Area More surface area → faster More area for particles to collide
rate

Temperature Higher temp → faster rate Particles move faster and have more energy

Catalyst Increases rate without Lowers activation energy → more successful
being used collisions




3. Collision Theory
