What factors influence the rate of a reaction?
There are four factors to consider.
-
Tempearture
-
Surface Area
-
Concenration/ Pressure
-
Catalyst
These factors all influence the rate of reaction. It is also important to understand how these factor influence the rate of reaction.
-
An increase in temperature increases both the frequnecy of collsion as well as the energy of the collsion.
-
An increase in surface area, increases the frequency of collision.
-
An increase in concentration or pressure also increase the frequency of collsion.
-
Lastly a catalyst increases the number of sucessful collision.
