chemical reaction to take place at the speed we want.

Temperature Concentration of the reactants Contact surface area Catalysts

If we increase the concentration of one or both of the reactants, it is easier for the particles to make contact with each
other, increasing the chances of a reaction.

The higher the concentration of a reactant, the faster the reaction: for very di!icult stains we use a concentrated
detergent.
The lower the concentration of a reactant, the slower the reaction: many types of food go o! when they react with
the air; to conserve them, we vacuum pack them.
