Rates Of Reactions Aim The aim of this experiment is to see how reactions change when altering the temperature and concentration of the acid. Factors Affecting Reaction Times There are various things we need to take into account on what can affect reaction times. There are four main factors: - Temperature By heating up the mixture the particles gain more energy, so they will then move faster, making a faster reaction time. - Concentration When the mixture has a bigger concentration there will be more particles, which will mean a faster reaction. - Particle Size The bigger the size of the particles the slower the reaction, so to get a fast reaction you will need a lot of small particles rather than one big one. - Catalyst A catalyst will speed up the reaction by acting as a template for the to substances, it will hold them together long enough for the substances to react without itself being involved in the...
