Directions: As you read about reaction rates related to our 3.2 Lab, please write down key/important main ideas in your Chem Notes 3.2 Reaction Rate Lab

1) What must happen for a reaction to occur?

2) How does surface area affect the reaction rate?

3) Why does temperature affect the reaction rate? Explain.

4) How does increasing the concentration (amount) of a reactant increase the reaction rate?

*Note about Catalysts: Our saliva (an enzyme) acts as a catalyst to begin breaking down our food. Adding Catalysts to speed up a reaction is like taking a shortcut for the reaction rate.
