Aim: To investigate the different factors affecting the rates of reaction. The rate of reaction is the rate of loss of a reactant or the rate of formation of a product during a chemical reaction. There are five main factors, which determine the rate of chemical reactions taking place. These are: * Temperatures; when increasing the temperature of a reaction or heating the reactants, particles take in more energy causing them to move faster and collide more often. Because the collisions have more energy they are more likely to be successful in breaking and reforming bonds. Therefore the rate of the reaction will increase * Concentration (of solution); The more concentrated the reactant, the more particles are present and the greater the chance of a successful collision and ultimately increasing the rate of reaction * Pressure (in gases); as pressure increase the particles in the reactants collide more causing the particles to gain more...
