What factors affect the rate of reaction? By Alex Willmott I am trying to find out what factors affect the rate of reaction. Here are the four things that affect the rate of reactions under normal circumstances: * Concentration * Catalysts * Temperature * Surface Area In this experiment we will be looking at how concentration affects the rate of reaction. Here is the word equation for our experiment: Magnesium + Sulphuric Acid Hydrogen + Magnesium Sulphate Mg(s) + H SO H (g) + MgSO Prediction In my experiment I expect that when I increase the amount of acid the reaction will occur faster. Increasing the amount of acid is increasing the concentration, which I think will speed up the reaction. If I dilute the sulphuric acid by adding water then the rate of reaction will slow down because of decreased concentration. This will all happen because of something called 'The Collision Theory'. The particles in a liquid move continuously, so...
