Yes, it is possible, the speed is depending on the granulometry.

- Concentrations of the reactants

- Temperature

- Pressure

- Sirring

- Catalysts

- Granulometry of the reactants

- Reaction order

- Type of the reaction

- The solvent used

- External factors as irradiation

etc.

Factors affecting the reaction rate: - Concentrations of the reactants
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Stirring
- Catalysts
- Granulometry (and the surface area) of the reactants
- Reaction order
- Type of the reaction
- The solvent used
- External factors as irradiation
etc.
