Factors That Influence Reaction RatesFactors That Influence Reaction RatesAffect on Reaction RateAffect on Reaction Rate
CatalystCatalyst Increases the Reaction Rate
Concentration of ReactantsConcentration of Reactants Increase in Concentration increases the reaction rate because of an increase in
particle collisions.
Surface AreaSurface Area More surface area increases the reaction rate. (Smaller particles give a greater
overall surface area when all the particles surfaces are added together.)
TemperatureTemperature Increase in Temperature increases the reaction rate because of an increase in
particle collisions.
StirringStirring Increases the Reaction Rate by increasing the number of collisions.

TemperatureTemperatureIncrease temperature:Increase temperature:
favors the endothermic reaction.favors the endothermic reaction.
Decrease temperature:Decrease temperature:
favors the exothermic reaction.favors the exothermic reaction.
Pressure/Volume ChangesPressure/Volume ChangesIncrease pressure:Increase pressure: favors the reaction producing favors the reaction producing fewer moles of gas.fewer moles of gas.
Decrease pressure:Decrease pressure: favors the reaction producing favors the reaction producing more moles of gas.more moles of gas.
