Solids, liquids or gases all influence the rate of reaction the same because they are all in the physical state. Solid state reactants react faster if the particle sizes are larger because reactions occur at the boundary surface with direct contact. Gaseous-state reactions are faster than liquid-state or solid-state reactions because collisions between reactants are more frequent.arrow_forwardPlease explain question 10 thoroughly.arrow_forward
