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.
