What are some methods that can increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
gpt
Raising the temperature, increasing the surface area of a solid reactant, and adding a catalyst.
Explanation: Increasing the temperature provides the particles with more energy, allowing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This leads to a higher rate of chemical reaction. Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant provides more sites for the reaction to occur, and adding a catalyst changes the reaction mechanism to reduce the activation energy required for the reaction.
