I am going to explain how to increase the rate of chemical reaction for solid, liquid and gas.
Explanation:
Changes in temperature either allows the rate to increase or decrease.
For a solid solute and a liquid solvent, increasing the temperature allows it to furthur increase it's solubility.
However, as little to no energy are exchanged between liquid and gas, increasing the temperature does not make a difference.
Increasing the pressure helps increase the solubility of a gas as it is directly proportional to the pressure of the particular gas above a liquid.
Besides, there are three ways to increase the rate of dissolving of solute into a solvent
- Stir it/Mix it
- Heat it
- Increase its' surface area
I hope this explanation is clear! Feel free to ask if there's anything you're unable to understand!
