SCIENCE COURSEWORK INTRODUCTION The rate of reaction is how fast/the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place. The rate of reaction is found by measuring the amount of a reactant used up per unit of time or the amount of a product produced per unit of time. The rate of reaction is at its fastest speed in the beginning of the reaction & gradually slows down. Some of the things that affect the rate of reaction are: * Concentration * Light * Surface area * Temperature * Using a catalyst * Pressure All these things can affect the rate of reaction because they can increase the chances of successful collisions that take place. A successful collision can only take place when particles collide with each other and a reaction takes place. In order for the Acid and Magnesium particles to react together they must collide with each other and the collision must have enough energy. HOW I AM GOING...
