Recall and describe the specific factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions, including the concentrations of reactants in solution, the pressure of reacting gases, the surface area of solid reactants, the overall temperature, and the presence of catalysts.
Investigate how changes in reactant concentration alter reaction rates through practical experiments.
Conduct rate investigations using methods that measure the volume of a produced gas, or methods involving a measurable change in solution color or turbidity.
Develop a coherent hypothesis before conducting practical investigations into the factors affecting reaction rates.
