The increase in pressure resulted in the gas particles being pushed closer together. This meant that they collided more often and so they reacted faster. A chemical reaction is a process by which one or more substances called reactants changes into one or more other substances, called products. A reaction is when two particles (reactants) join to form a new product or products. Rate is a measurement of the change that happens in a single unit of time, any suitable measurement can be used such as seconds, minutes, hours or even days.
