The speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds can vary, and is called the rate of reaction. We will study about this in detail in this chapter. I). Measuring Speed of Reaction: The speed of reaction can be found by measuring these quantities at regular time...
II). Factors Affecting Speed of Reaction: There are various factors that affect the speed of a chemical reaction, the major ones being: The temperature at which the reaction is occurring The concentration of the substances used (reactants) The pressure on the...
III). Catalysts and Enzymes: A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy, without itself being chemically changed at the end of the reaction. It works by providing an alternate, more direct route from...
