Factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions

Factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions mainly include reactant concentration, temperature, catalysts, and surface area. Higher reactant concentration leads to more activated molecules per unit volume, increasing collision frequency and thus accelerating the reaction rate. Elevated temperatures enhance molecular motion and increase the percentage of activated molecules, boosting the reaction rate accordingly. Catalysts expedite the reaction process by lowering the activation energy. Furthermore, a larger surface area of reactants increases the chances of effective collisions, significantly enhancing the reaction rate.
