Question

What is the factor that changes the reaction rate in the following example and why:

More concentrated detergents wash better.

Answer 1

Concentration of the detergents

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor that changes the reaction is the concentration of the reacting detergent.

Here are some factors that influences the rate of reaction;

• Nature of reactants
• Concentration of the reactants or pressure
• Temperature
• Presence of a catalyst
• Sunlight

The reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants.

Here since we have a more concentrated detergent, its reaction rate will be higher than normal and it will wash better.
