Concentration of reactantsThis is the "rate" law. It is found by looking at the dataIt depends on the "mechanism"2NO2 2NO + O2 Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutFour Factors that affect a reaction rate2. TemperatureThis changes the rate constant kk = A e-Ea/RTArrhenius Lawpre-factorbarriertemperatureThe higher the temperature the more molecules that have enough energy to make it over the barrierPrinciples of Chemistry II © Vanden Bout2H2(g) + O2(g)2H2O(g)EnergyEa Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutFour Factors that affect a reaction rate3. CatalystThis changes the rate constant k. Reduces Eak = A e-Ea/RTArrhenius Lawpre-factorbarriertemperatureAs the barrier is lower, the rate constant is larger Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutCatalyst Demo Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutFour Factors that affect a reaction rate4. Physical state (solid chunk, dust, gas, ....) This changes the rate constant k.
