MindMap Gallery Chemical reaction rate and concentration
The rate of chemical reactions is closely related to reactant concentration. As reactant concentration increases, the number of reactant molecules per unit volume rises, enhancing the chances of intermolecular collisions and thus accelerating the reaction rate. This relationship can be explained by collision theory, which states that higher concentrations lead to a higher frequency of effective collisions between activated molecules. Additionally, the reaction rate constant, a physical quantity measuring the speed of a reaction, is influenced by temperature but is independent of concentration.
