Answer Text:
Factors affecting the rate of reaction
- Factors that increase the rate of a reaction does so by:
-Increasing number of effective collisions;
-Lowering the activation energy; since a reaction with high activation energy is slow at ordinary conditions;
These factors are:
-Concentration of reactants
-Temperature
-Surface area (size of the particles
-Catalyst Light
-Pressure
