Rates of Reaction
Relative rate1.0×
Initial rate4.0 cm³/s
Temperature factor1.00×
Time to collect half17.3 s
- Make the reaction at least twice as fast (rate ≥ 2×)
- Add a catalyst and watch the rate jump
- Get the reaction to 4× the baseline rate
- Now slow it to half the baseline rate (weaken the acid, keep it cool)
- Combine factors to reach 16× — watch the curve shoot to the ceiling
