Using collision theory, explain why increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the rate of reaction.

Chemical reactions occur when reacting particles collide with energy equal to or greater than the activation energy. By increasing the concentration of reactants, there are more reacting particles present, making collisions more likely to occur, increasing the frequency of successful collisions, and so, increasing the rate of reaction.
