Controling the rate of reaction

The rate of reactions can be controlled. We do this by changing the conditions of the reaction.

Reactions can be speeded up by:
Increasing tempreature
Increasing concentration
using smaller bits
using a catalyst

Changing the conditions changes how the particles of the reactants collide with each other in the reaction.
