- - - - The higher the temperature the faster the reaction
        
        This is caused by the larger amount of energy in the particles, causing them to come in contact more frequently
      - experiment showing this

    - - The higher the concentration the faster the reaction
        
        This is because there will be more reactant particles in a given volume, allowing more frequent and successful collisions, increasing the rate of reaction

    - - The larger the ratio between the surface area and the area of the chemical the faster the reaction
        
        This is caused because the 2 chemicals have a larger area of contact (more collision) meaning the reaction will be faster

    - - A catalyst is a chemical which speeds up a reaction without being altered or consumed itself
        
        They work by providing an alternate rout for the reaction
        
        They do this by lowering the activation energy required, providing a reaction pathway requiring less energy

      - Normally a small amount of catalyst is needed to speed up a reaction
