Question 1

What does the steric factor (p) represent in a chemical reaction?

  • The number of collisions per unit time
  • The fraction of collisions with suitable orientation
  • The temperature of the reaction

💡 Hint: Think about how orientation can impact reactions.

Question 2

True or False: The steric factor is always equal to one.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how larger molecules might struggle with orientation.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a reaction between two gases where the steric factor is significantly reduced due to the size of the molecules. Discuss how this would affect the overall rate of reaction at different temperatures.

💡 Hint: Focus on how temperature and orientation impact reaction rates in conjunction.

Question 2

Design an experiment to determine the steric factor for two different reaction mechanisms. What approaches would you take, and what data would you need?

💡 Hint: Think about varying conditions and reaction parameters!
