Reaction rateHow quickly or slowly reactants are turned into products is called the reaction rate
-
TemperatureIncreasing temperature will INCREASEthe rate of a chemical reaction.
Explanation:Increasing temperature increases the molecular movement of the reactants.Therefore, reactants collide more often and produce products at a faster rate.
-
Surface areaIncreasing the surface area of the reactants will INCREASE the rate of a chemical reaction.
Explanation:Powders will react faster than solid blocks because there is more surface area for reactants to collide.
-
ConcentrationIncreasing the concentration of the reactants will INCREASE the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction.
Explanation:Increasing concentration of reactants means more reactants to produce more products
-
CatalystsAdding a catalyst to a chemical reaction will INCREASE the rate of a chemical reaction.
Explanation:Catalysts speed up chemical reaction but are not used in the reaction.
Example = enzymes
-
EnzymesEnzymes are catalysts that are found in living organisms.
These speed up chemical reactions without being used up in the reaction.
Example: digestive enzymes
