Interpretation: Seven ways that could speed up a
Concept introduction: Rate of a reaction is the change in amount of products or reactants per unit time.
Answer to Problem SIII1RE
Seven ways that could speed up a chemical reaction is as follows:
- Catalyst
- Temperature
- Surface area
- Concentration
- Energy
- Mixing
- Pressure
Explanation of Solution
The ways that can increase
- Catalyst: Catalyst can increase and decrease rate of the reaction.
- Temperature: Kinetic energy of the reactant particle increases on increasing temperature.
- Surface area: Surface area of reactant affects rate of reaction.
- Concentration: Rate of the reaction increases on increasing concentration.
- Energy: Energy increases the rate of the reaction.
- Mixing: Reaction rate increases when reactants are mixed well
- Pressure: On increasing pressure rate of the reaction increases.
Factors that affects rate of reactions are pressure, energy, mixing, concentration, surface area, temperature, catalyst, etc.
