Surface area Surface area factors affecting the reaction rate. The influence of touch surface
area associated with the ease of reactant particles to meet. When the touch
surface area increases, the particles are easier to meet so that the effective
collision number will increase, so the reaction rate also increases. The
example is when our mom cooks meat. Certainly the meat is cut into small
pieces, it aims to expand the touch surface. So the reaction of raw meat
becomes tender faster.

The catalyst The catalyst factor influences the reaction rate. The role of the catalyst in
influencing the reaction rate is related to the activating energy of the reaction,
Ea. The catalyst used to speed up the reaction provides an alternative reaction
mechanism with a lower Ea value than the non-catalyzed reaction Ea. With a
lower Ea, more particles have enough kinetic energy to overcome this low Ea
obstacle. It causes the number of effective collisions that will increase, so the
reaction rate will also increase. The examples are when we want to make the
meat to be more quickly tender, our mother added an unripe papaya into the
stew of meat. Because papaya contains papain enzyme that serves as a
catalyst that speeds up the meat tender process.

The temperature The temperature factor affects the reaction rate. The effect of temperature on
the reaction rate is related to the particle kinetic energy value. When the
temperature is raised, the kinetic energy of the particle will increase. Thus,
more particles will have a minimum kinetic energy ≥ (more than or as equal
as) Ea. This causes the number of effective collisions to increase, so that the
reaction rate increases, for example, the manufacture of sweet tea using
refined granulated sugar with warm water will make the manufacture of tea
only takes a short time because the reaction rate in granulated sugar and use
warm water faster than the rate reaction to granulated sugar and cold water,
but also the process of making milk (from milk powder). Milk is brewed with
warm water mixed faster than cold water. When using cold water, there are
still clumps of milk that left behind at the bottom of the glass despite stirring
as much as count on the mix in milk that uses warm water.

The Concentration The concentration factor that affects the reaction rate. The influence of
concentration is related to the number of particles involved in the collision. When
the concentration of the reagents increases, the number of particles will increase.
Thus, the particles are actually becoming closer and the number of effective
collisions will also increase, thus increasing the reaction rate. The example is toilet
cleaning fluids. If the concentration of high HCl in toilet cleaning solution,
then the dirt that can be cleaned ceramic or porcelain coated then the faster.
Then choose a cleanser with high active ingredient content
