Write a hypothesis about the effect of temperature and surface area on the rate of chemical reactions using this format: “If . . . then . . . because. . . .” Be sure to answer the lesson question, “How do the factors of temperature and surface area affect the rate of chemical reactions?”
Answer (1)
Answer:If the temperature increases and the surface area of the reactants is larger, then the rate of the chemical reaction will increase because higher temperatures provide more energy for particles to collide effectively, and a greater surface area allows more particles to interact, leading to faster reactions.
