Factors affecting the rate of a reaction Aim: To investigate and conclude what factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction, and specifically investigating the concentration as a factor. Introduction: A chemical reaction occurs when two or more reactants combine to form one or more products. Examples of such a reaction include the oxidation of sodium, where sodium reacts with oxygen in the air to form sodium oxide. There are a number of factors, however, which influence the rate at which the reaction occurs. These factors are the temperature, the concentration of the reactants, the surface area of the reactants, and catalysts. In this coursework I will be investigating how the temperature, the concentration of reactants and the surface area of the reactants, affect the rate at which a reaction takes place. Temperature The collision theory states that particles of the reactants must collide, with certain activation energy, in order for the particles to react. However not...
