Questions and Answers

Why do smaller particles of solid reactants increase the reaction rate?

  • They change the concentration of the reactants
  • They provide more surface area for the reactants to interact (correct)
  • They reduce the surface area for the reactants to interact
  • They lower the temperature of the reaction
  • What is the effect of increasing the reactant concentration on the reaction rate?

  • It slows down the reaction

    Study Notes

    Factors Affecting Chemical Reaction

    • Smaller particle size of solid reactants increases reaction rate due to increased surface area, leading to more collisions between reactants.
    • Higher reactant concentration speeds up reactions as it increases the number of collisions between reactant molecules.
    • Elevated temperatures accelerate reactions by increasing the kinetic energy of reactant molecules, thus boosting the frequency of successful collisions.
    • Presence of a catalyst enhances reaction rate by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, without being consumed in the process.
