Chemical Reactions

Reaction Rates are affected by:

-Temperature

-Concentration

-Surface Area

-Catalysts

-Inhibitors

Temperature

As temp increases, so does the movement of molecules, thus more collisions

Concentration

As concentration increases, so does the reaction rate. Reactants can collide with each other easily

Surface Area

As Surface Area increases, there is more “area” for substances to collide with

Catalyst

Enzyme that increases the rate of the chemical reaction without becoming part of the reaction

Inhibitors

Decreases the rate of a chemical reaction
