2. A higher concentration of particles will result in a faster reaction due to an increase in
the number of collisions between particles.
3. Particles must collide with sufficient energy to break any bonds in the reactant
particles. This energy is called activation energy.
Can you cite an example of an object or situation observed in your home or immediate
vicinity, which shows that it has a faster rate, sufficient collision, and proper

The activities in this module are arranged from simple to complex to help the
learner gradually master the desired learning competency. Give him/her the needed
support and guidance so that he/she will able to differentiate the basic features and
importance of factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions.

What is It
1. THERMAL CONDITION
The molecules in a system bounce around a lot more when the temperature is raised.
They have more energy. They are more likely to collide if they bounce around more. As a
result, they’re more likely to join forces. In KMT, it appears that as the temperature rises, so
does the speed of particle movement.
The total kinetic energy of the molecules increases as the temperature rises,
according to Kinetic Molecular Theory. If the particles travel faster, they are more likely to
collide with the container’s edge. They must remain further apart if the reaction is held at
constant pressure, and an increase in volume would compensate for the increased particle
collisions with the container’s surface.
When the
temperature, is lowered
the molecules move
more slowly and collide
less. The reaction’s pace
is slowed as the
temperature drops.
2. INTENSIFICATION (CONCENTRATION)
8
3. PRESSURE
Pressure affects the rate of reaction, especially when you look at gases. An increase
in pressure pushes the gas particles coming closer together thus, increasing the frequency
of collisions. The particles are more likely to react.
Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to
attack. The result is an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there
are more collisions at any given time and the rate of reaction increases.
