Question

which factors can affect the rate that reactant molecules collide

Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt · Accepted Answer

particle size/surface area
concentration (and pressure for gases)
temperature
use of catalyst

any factor that increases the frequency of collisions will also increase frequency of successful collisions and therefore increase the rate of reaction
