Chapter 12, Problem 5QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Three ways to increase the rate of a given reaction are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Every reaction occurring in this universe is following a particular pace which can be defined as the rate of reaction.

The formation of a particular product takes place on collision of the reactants in a particular orientation having sufficient energy to cross the energy barrier. An increase in temperature, concentration, and surface area of reactants as well as the addition of a small amount of a catalyst increases the rate by alternating path of the reaction.
