Aimeé Allam Chemistry Coursework: Rates Of Reaction Planning Section: Background knowledge: For a reaction to occur, a collision with enough energy must happen between two particles. Only if the collision has enough energy, will a reaction take place. There more successful collisions there are, the faster the reaction and the higher the rate of reaction. There are several ways of increasing the rate of a reaction. One is by increasing the temperature. When hot, particles have more energy and move around more quickly. Inevitably there are more collisions and the reaction is faster. Another is by increasing the concentration of a substance. This means that there are more particles of that substance available to collide with the other substance. This results in more collisions and a faster reaction. When there is a larger surface area of a substance that is being reacted with another, the reaction is faster. This is because there are more particles on...
