Some reactions are fast, some are slow. In this module, you’ll explore how we can speed up or slow down reactions using Temperature, Surface Area, Catalysts, and Concentration. 🚀
It’s how fast reactants become products. Faster collisions + more effective collisions = faster reaction.
Higher temperature → particles move faster → more energetic collisions → faster reaction.
Smaller pieces (powder) expose more area → more collision sites → faster reaction.
Catalysts speed up reactions by lowering activation energy — they’re not used up.
More reactant particles in the same space → more collisions → faster reaction.
