How in terms of collision theory how a decrease in concentration can change the rate of a precipitation reaction?

Decrease in conc. means decrease in no. of molecules per unit volume.
Since, molecules or atoms will less in number, the no. of colliding particles will be less.
This will lead to decreased precipitation

What chemical reaction causes precipitation?
This is a precipitation reaction.
What is the collision theory and how does it relates to reaction rates?
it depends on how high or low the reactant is on the temperature.
What happens to the equilibrium concentration of reactants when the volume of the reaction system is decreased and why?
decrease in reactants and increase in products
How are the concentration of the reactants and reaction rate related?
rate laws a+the higher the concentration = more particles = higher chance of a collision happening = higher/faster reaction rate
What are 6 ways the number of effective collision in a chemical reaction can be controlled?
Increase concentration of the reactantsDecrease concentration of the productsAdd a catalystIncrease the temperatureIncrease the pressureStirOf course... do the opposite of these things if you are trying to slow it down.
How does the factor concentration affect reaction rate?
increasing concentration increases rate of reaction as there are more particles so there is a larger chance of collision,it increases the probability of collision of the reactants.
How does concentration factors affect reaction rate?
increasing concentration increases rate of reaction as there are more particles so there is a larger chance of collision,it increases the probability of collision of the reactants.
How does the concentration of reactants affect the rate of a reaction.?
Increasing the concentration increases the molecules' collision frequency.
What causes the reaction rate to decrease as the reaction progresses?
The concentration of the reactants decreases.
What causes the reaction rate to decrease as the reaction progress?
The concentration of the reactants decreases.
How will decreasing reactant concentration affect the reaction rate?
Decreasing the reactant concentration will slow the rate of the reaction. If you use the idea of adding oxygen and hydrogen to make water and decease the amount of one, you will produce less water. It doesn't matter which reactant is less as there are just are not enough to go around.

How does the concentration of reactant affect the rate of a reaction?
Increasing the concentration increases the molecules' collision frequency.
Is it true that a low concentration of a chemical slows reaction rate?
I would point your studies towards collision theory. It's not that a low concentration necessarily slows down a reaction, but that a low concentration will have a slower reaction rate than a higher concentration of reactants. A lower concentration means a lower number of reactants in solution, meaning it is less likely for the reactants to collide and create products. With a lot of reactants, it is much more likely for collisions to occur.

Why does concentration of a reactant influence the reaction rate?
Oxygen!
What happens to the equilibrium concentration of reactants when the volume of the reaction system is decreased and why?
decrease in reactants and increase in products
