A rough surface provides more surface area for reactant molecules to collide and interact, increasing the chances of successful reactions. It also presents different binding sites and orientations for molecules to adsorb and react, promoting more diverse reactions. Overall, the rough surface of a catalyst enhances catalytic activity by facilitating more reaction sites and promoting better adsorption of reactants.
Rates of reaction are determined by factors such as concentration of reactants, temperature, presence of a catalyst, and surface area. Increasing the concentration of reactants and temperature generally increases reaction rates, while adding a catalyst can speed up the reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy. Additionally, increasing the surface area of the reactants can enhance reaction rates by increasing the number of collisions between particles.
Increasing temperature, increasing concentration of reactants, using a catalyst, and increasing the surface area of the reactants can all increase reaction rate by providing more energy for collisions between reactant molecules.
it's the problem of surface area -to- volume ratio that mean there is no fitting between increasing of surface area and increasing of volume
Increasing the temperature, concentration of reactants, surface area of the reactants, and presence of a catalyst are factors that can increase the rate of a reaction by providing more energy for successful collisions between particles.
