(10 cards)
What is the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction?
Increasing the temperature generally increases the rate of a reaction.
True or False: Higher concentration of reactants decreases the rate of a reaction.
False
Fill in the blank: The presence of a __________ can increase the rate of a reaction without being consumed.
catalyst
Which factor does NOT affect the rate of a reaction: temperature, pressure, or color?
color
Short answer: How does surface area affect the rate of a reaction?
Increasing surface area increases the rate of a reaction.
What happens to the reaction rate when reactant concentration is increased?
The reaction rate increases.
