Add heat Stirring/shaking Increased Surface Area Increased Concentration Catalyst So how do we speed up a reaction? On the left is a list of ways to speed up a reaction; on the right are ways to slow down a reaction. • Remove heat • Let it sit • Decrease Surface Area • Decrease Concentration • No Catalyst
Heat Increasing the heat energy will make the molecules move faster = faster collisions
Shaking/ Stirring • Adding mechanical energy to the reaction can also increase the speed of the molecules = faster collisions!
Increasing Surface Area • More surface area = more space for collisions
Change the Concentration • A ratio of the amount of one substance verses the other substance(s). Increase the concentration of one = more possible collisions. Lower Concentration Higher Concentration
Catalyst • Involves using a separate substance added to the reaction to speed it up. Hydrogen Fuel Cell
