temperature
on changing temperature catalyst
K changes and hence the surface area

rate of reaction changes intensityof light

ace to reaction can take place when a molecule

Arrhenius
of Az collides with a molecule of B to form an unstable
intermediate which exists for very short time and then
breaks up to form 2 molecules of AB
