What affects the Rate of Reaction when Calcium carbonate is dissolved in nitric acid? Introduction This Sc1 is about looking at what affects the rate of reaction in an experiment and why it affects it. For example you can use several ways to find this out. One way is by adding a catalyst, by adding a catalyst you can increase rate without the catalyst being used up itself. Different reactions need different catalysts. They also can reduce the activation energy, this is good for big industries because the faster the product is made the less costly it will be. Activation energy basically means the energy needed to break reactant bonds. An example of a catalyst being used is, magnesium dioxide catalysing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Another to see what affects the rate of reaction is to increase the temperature. By increasing the temperature, the particles will have more energy and will...
