A chemical reaction is a chemical change that takes place when two substances are put together. There are many different factors that can affect how fast or slow a reaction is. These are: * (1)Changing the concentration of one of the substances - which increases the number of particles - which increases the chance of collisions between particles. * Changing the surface area - if the particles surface area is increased, it increases the chance of a collision with other particles. * Increasing the temperature - gives the particles more energy, which makes them move faster, which increases the chance of a collision. * Adding a catalyst - which reduces the ACTIVATION ENERGY - the...
