Grinding the solid into a powder increases the surface area and increases the rate of the reaction. Heating it would also increase the rate.

How does increasing the surface area of a solid reactant affect the energy of molecular collisions?

Reactions depend on molecular collisions. If a solid reactant is a solid, grinding it into smaller particles will increase the surface area. The more surface area, the faster the molecular collisions, which in turn increases the rate of reaction.


What effect temperature have on reaction rate?

An increase in temperature speeds up the reaction rate.


What are three ways to increase the rate at which particular reaction proceeds?

There are three ways to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. One way is to increase the temperature of the reaction, which increases the rate of molecular collision. Another option is to add a catalyst to the reaction which chemically enables the rate of reaction. Lastly, increase the pressure in the reaction area, which increases the rate of molecular collisions.


How can you increase the rate of catalase reaction by using the same liver?

To increase the rate of catalpas reaction by using the same liver is simple. It is the biological catalyst that alters the rate of reaction that changes itself.


Does removing a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction?

No in the vast majority of cases it reduces the rate of reaction.


Is temperature essential in determining the reaction rate?

yes, as the reaction rate increases with increase in the temperature


Does increasing pressure affect reaction rate?

If the pressure increase the number of intermolecular collisions increase and so the reaction rate. This is valid for gases.
