Why increasing temperature can increase rate of reaction: by increasing temperature, particles have
more Kinetic energy, move faster, more successful collisions, and greater proportion of molecules have
E>Ea
Produce more frequent collision: particles have greater speed, and more particles present
Why increasing concentration can increase rate of reaction: increasing concentration, more particles
present,collide easier and faster, more frequent collisions
Why increase surface are can increase rate of reaction? More particles are exposed at the surface, more
frequent collisions
Why catalyst can increase rate of reaction: can lower activation energy and providing alternative
pathway, greater proporion of molecules have E>Ea, more successful collisions.
