Dear Prudhvi,
Several factors affect the rate of a reaction. It is important to know these factors so that reaction rates can be controlled. This is particularly important when it comes to industrial reactions, so that productivity can be maximised. The following are some of the factors that affect the rate of a reaction.
- Nature of reactants Substances have different chemical properties and therefore react differently and at different rates.
- Concentration (or pressure in the case of gases) As the concentration of the reactants increases, so does the reaction rate.
- Temperature If the temperature of the reaction increases, so does the rate of the reaction.
- Catalyst Adding a catalyst increases the reaction rate.
- Surface area of solid reactants Increasing the surface area of the reactants (e.g. if a solid reactant is broken or ground up into smaller pieces) will increase the reaction rate.
