List the three characteristic properties of reactant particles which affect the rate of reaction as described by the collision theory.


Use the following information: [[[[2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l) ∆H = −572 kJ mol−1]]]] [[[[2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) ∆H = −484 kJ mol−1]]]] to calculate the enthalpy change for the process: H2O(g) → H2O(l)
