Factors Affecting Reaction Rate Concentration Surface area (particle size) Temperature Presence of a catalyst/inhibitor
Concentration
Surface Area Decreasing the particle size increases the amount of surface area where the reaction can take place, increasing the rate at which the reaction can occur Here the reaction between the solid magnesium metal and hydrogen ions can only happen at the surface
