What factors can affect rate of reaction?

There are several factors which can affect the Rate of Reaction. These include:
1) Temperature:
At higher temperature, the particles have more kinetic energy. They move more rapidly through the solution, they collide more often and more vigorously, so the chance of a reaction increases. The time taken for a certain amount of collisions to occur decreases, so the overall time for the reaction to occur would also decrease. This will be counteracted in our experiment, as we will be using a constant temperature to assure that the experiment is a fair test. As the temperature increases, the ra…
