Chapter 12, Problem 6QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

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

Concept Introduction:

The rate of a reaction can be affected by a number of ways. The increase in temperature increases the rate by increasing the energy of the particles or molecules which leads to an effective collision. The concentration or surface area of reactants should be increased to increase the rate and the addition of a catalyst may also help.
