• speed of reaction
• concentration of reacting particles
• combining reactants with products

Decreasing the particle size increases the reaction rate because

• It makes particles move faster
• It increases the likelihood of collisions with the correct geometry
• It decreases the surface area available to react
• It increases the number of collisions

The catalyst alters the rate of a chemical reaction by,

• providing an alternative pathway with a lower Ea

• changing the products formed in the direction of the reaction

• providing a surface on which the molecules react

• increasing the frequencies of collisions between molecules
