Hello, I’m Avinto, your guide to understanding the Factors Affecting the Rate of a Chemical Reaction! Chemical reactions don’t all proceed at the same speed—some are instant, while others take years. We’ll dive into the factors that influence reaction rates, from temperature to catalysts, and explain the kinetic nature of reacting substances. Additionally, we’ll use the Arrhenius equation to calculate activation energy (

) and rate constants. Let’s unravel the science of reaction rates!
