The rate of reaction Introduction Kinetic theory all matter is made of atoms (tiny particles). Depending on states of matter particles will form solids, liquids and gases. When a chemical reaction occurs, the particles combine to make a new product, but the reactants have to collide for this to occur to share or swap electrons. So to speed up the rate of reaction you have to increase the frequency this can be done by the following * Increasing the temperature the warmer the particles the more they will have to collide with each other and so increase the rate of reaction * Increasing the concentration the more particles the more collisions * Increasing the surface area of the particles large lumps are slower than powder I have decided to increase concentration of the Hydrochloric acid but keep the same amount of sodium Thiosulphate. By increasing the concentration it will increase the rate of reaction due to...
