How can I increase the rate of reaction between two substances, without changing the chemicals I use?

Rate of reaction is based on collision frequency: chemicals react when molecules come into contact with each other with enough energy to react. If you want to increase the rate of reaction, you need to find ...

In terms of structure and bonding, explain why graphite is able to conduct electricity.

Carbon is in group 4 of the periodic table therefore has 4 electrons in its outer shell which are available for bonding. Each carbon atom in graphite forms 3 covalent bonds with another carbon atom within th...

How are London forces (Van Der Waals) formed?

This is the weakest intermolecular force. It is formed by the uneven distribution of electrons in a molecule which induces a dipole in the molecule (meaning a delta positive and delta negative charge forms a...

What happens to the equilibrium constant of an endothermic reaction, that is in equilibrium, when the temperature increases? What would the effect of increasing pressure have on the reaction and on the value of Kc?

Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction would favour the forward reaction, thereby increasing the concentration of the products compared to reactants, which in hand increases the value of Kc, t...
