Rate of Reaction Investigate how temperature affects the amount of time it takes for a reaction to happen? Preliminary work and research The most important rule and theory in this project is the collision theory. (The following information I learnt from my teacher.) "In order for a chemical reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide with sufficient energy to cause molecular rearrangement" This collision is called a 'fruitful collision' Any factor that affects the number of fruitful collisions will affect the rate of reaction. Temperature, concentration, surface area and catalysts all affect the rate of reaction between two chemicals. The factor I am concentrating on The factor I will be concentrating on in this investigation is temperature. If the temperature of a chemical is increased the particles have more energy so they move around faster and with more force. This means there will be more collisions per second and the energy of the collisions will be greater. This means that there will...
