B
temperature
C
volume
D
catalyst
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The rate of a chemical reaction is affected by several factors, including:
- Surface area: Increasing the surface area of reactants (especially solids) increases the reaction rate.
- Temperature: Increasing the temperature generally increases the reaction rate.
- Catalyst: A catalyst speeds up a reaction without being consumed itself.
- Volume: While the concentration of reactants (which can be affected by volume changes) impacts the reaction rate, the volume itself is not a direct factor that influences the rate.
