Aim: To find out how concentration will affect the rate of a chemical reaction. Scientific Knowledge: The rate of reaction is the rate of loss of a reactant or the rate of formation of a product during a chemical reaction. It is measured by dividing 1 by the time taken for the reaction to take place. There are five factors, which affect the rate of a reaction, according to the collision theory of reacting particles:> temperature,> concentration (of solution)> pressure (in gases)> surface area (of solid reactants)> catalysts Collision Theory: For a reaction to take place between two chemicals, they need to collide with each other with enough energy and in the correct way. Here are explanations of four of the affecting factors, which affect the rate of reaction; 1: Concentration: If the concentration increases, the number of reacting particles increases. This means that successful collisions are more likely so the...
