An Experiment to Investigate the Factors that Affect the Rate of Reaction Introduction The rate of a reaction is the speed a reaction takes to occur. When a reaction takes place, each of the reactant's particles move and collide with each other to form new bonds. If there is more energy in the reaction, the particles move faster with much more force and so the number of collisions increase, thus increasing the rate of the reaction (reaction occurs faster). The above is an example of one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction: temperature. If the reaction mixture is cold, the particles move slowly, and as a result, there are fewer collisions. But if the temperature is increased, the particles move more rapidly as they have more energy, resulting in more collisions, and so the reaction takes place faster. There are also three other factors affecting the rate of reaction: * Concentration...
