Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Factors that increase the rate of a chemical reaction include significantly increasing the concentration of one of the reactants (II), adding a catalyst to an uncatalyzed reaction (III), and increasing the pressure on a gaseous reaction system (V). Lowering the temperature (I) and decreasing the reaction surface area (IV) would typically slow down a reaction.
