Key Points: Factors Influencing Rate of Reaction

The rate of a reaction depends on:

Factor Effect on Rate
Concentration of reactants Higher conc. → more collisions → higher rate
Temperature Higher T → more energetic collisions → higher rate
Physical state and surface area Greater surface area → higher rate
Catalyst Lowers activation energy → higher rate
Pressure (gaseous reactions) Higher pressure → higher rate
Light / electromagnetic radiation Provides energy for photochemical reactions
