The best explanation is:
Increasing concentration of a solution increases the rate of reaction as there are:
Increasing pressure of a gas increases the rate of reaction as there are:
Increasing surface area to volume ratio of a solid increases the rate of reaction as there are:
The rate of reaction for a powder is greater than the rate of reaction for small chips as there are:
As a reaction proceeds, the rate of reaction decreases and the slope of the tangent:
When one of the reactants is used up, the slope of the line (on a graph of concentration vs time):
(Decreasing the rate of reaction means less frequent and/or fewer successful collisions).
Hint think of enzymes in biology
Why does the powdering of calcium carbonate increase the rate of its reaction with an acid?
