What are some key factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction as discussed in this chapter?
Key factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction include:
- Concentration of reactants: Higher concentration usually increases reaction rate.
- Temperature: Increasing temperature typically increases reaction rate.
- Presence of a catalyst: Catalysts speed up reactions without undergoing permanent changes.
- Surface area of reactants: Larger surface area can lead to a faster reaction rate.
