Explosions
How does temperature effect the rate of reaction?
The hotter the temperature, the faster the rate of reaction, because the particles have more energy so they move quicker and collide more often
How does the concentration effect the rate of reaction?
The higher the concentration, the faster the rate of reaction, because there are more particles so collisions occur more often
How does the surface area effect the rate of reaction?
The larger the surface area, the faster the rate of reaction because the particles around the solution have more area to work on, so there’ll more collisions
Formula for the rate of reaction..
