The rate of a reaction is the time it takes for a reaction to take place. The rate of reactions can be affect by different factors such as the temperature, the air pressure, the concentration of each substance and whether a catalyst is used (a catalyst is something that lowers something's activation energy so the reactants have more energy to react). A reaction happens when atoms collide with each with a big enough force therefore a bigger surface area would help speed this up. Also the amount of energy the particle/atoms have helps. With these factors you can determine the speed at which a reation happens. Any questions?
