Arran Patel 11k GCSE Practical Chemistry Coursework Rate Of Reaction Aim: To find how concentration affects the rate of reaction Background Information: A chemical reaction is caused when particles collide with one another with enough sufficient energy. All substances are made up of particles. The more collisions there are between the particles, the faster the rate of the reaction. Collisions occur when different particles have enough energy to collide into one another, however this can be speeded up with the aid of a catalyst. There are four common factors that can affect the rate of a reaction. The Temperature For every 10°C rise in temperature (0°C = 273K) there is a doubling of kinetic energy that the particles contain. This therefore increases the reaction rate as the particles are moving around and colliding more. The collisions become bigger, faster and more frequent, and so the reaction rate increases. The Concentration By increasing the number of particles present,...
