Q

What are some factors that affect the rate of chemical reaction?

A
  • Temperature - up temp, up rate of reaction
  • Concentration - up concentration, up rate of reaction
  • Surface area - up surface area, up rate of reaction
  • Addition of a catalyst - add a catalyst, up rate of reaction
  • Type of particle - the simpler the type of reactant, the faster the rate of reaction
