To unblur Course Hero answers, you need to inspect the page, click on “Sources”, and open “split-0-page-1” in a new tab. After you’ve opened “split-0-page-1” in a new tab, remove “-html-bg” from the URL to unblur the top half of the answers.
We can identify five factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions: the chemical nature of the reacting substances, the state of subdivision (one large lump versus many small particles) of the reactants, the temperature of the reactants, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst.
It’s currently working as of Dec 2021, so make sure that you take advantage of it before Course Hero decides to “fix” it. If you’re lost or something is not working, please read and follow the steps in the guide carefully again. I’ve tested this multiple times on various Course Hero documents and it works perfectly.
Usually reactions speed up with increasing temperature. Physical state of reactants. Powders react faster than blocks - greater surface area and since the reaction occurs at the surface we get a faster rate. The presence (and concentration/physical form) of a catalyst (or inhibitor).

An increase in temperature typically increases the rate of reaction. An increase in temperature will raise the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Therefore, a greater proportion of molecules will have the minimum energy necessary for an effective collision (Figure.
