Gizmos
P ame: Cate: Nov 23, 2(122
Student Exploration: Collision Theory
Directions: Fellow the instructions to gothrough the simulation. Respond to the questions and
prompts in the orange boxes.
Vocabulary: activate: complex, catalyst, chemca reaction, concentration, enzyme, half-life, molecL e,
product reactant surface area
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE usirig the Gizmo.)
1. Suppose you added a spoonful of sugar to hot water and another to ice-ccld water. Which type cf rater 'will
cause the sugar to dissolve more quickly?
The hot water vxxild dissolve the sugar faster.
2. Suppose you held a lighted match to a solid hunk cf wood and another match to a pile of wood shavings.
VWtioh farm of wood wil catch fire mere easily?
The wood shavings catch on fire mere easily.
Gizmo Warm-up
A chemical reaction causes the chemical compositions of substances |
to change. Reactants are substances that enter into a reaction, and
products are substances produced by the reaction. The Gohliscn
Theory Gizmc allows you to experiment v<ith several factors tnat affect , I
the rate at which reactants are transformed hto products in a chemical
react on. »

You wil reed Hue. green . and orange markers or colored pencils for the
first part of this activity. ;

Question: Hew does temperature affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
1. Gbsenra Select the ANIMATION tab. View the animation withNc catalyst selected.
What do you see?
The reactants colide and farm product A and B.
W"en two reactantmolecules meet. they farm a temporary structure called anactivated complex The
activated complex breaks up into the product molecules.
2. Ctiserve: Return to the CONTROLS pane. Set 1heTemperature to 0 : C and the Simulation speed to its
maximum setting. QickPlay.
A Cescrbe the motions of the molecules.
Reactants A are moving around and colliding with reactant B. Reacting B is vibrating on the
side.
E. Now set tne Temperature tc 2Q0 : C. How does increasing the temperature affect tne motions of the
molecules?
Reactants A are moving around and colliding with reactant B. Reacting B is vibrating on the
side. Reactants move faster.
C. Wiat do you notice atcut the chemical reaction a: the higher temperature?
Motion and rate of reaction decreases as temperature is increases
3. Imerprat: Select the GRAPH tab. Click the zoom out tuttori (-} until you can see the whole graph. Wiat
does this graph show?
The graph s h o w the concentration of reactants and products over time.
4. Predict How do you think temperature will affect the rate cf a chemical reaction?
