Equillibrium

We have recently been learning about Equilibrium and factors that affect reaction rates. Temperature, concentration, particle size, and catalysts all affect reaction rates. Equilibrium works against these factors. If the temperature increases, the number of particles that have enough kinetic energy to react when they collide increase as well. Cramming more particles into a fixed volume increases the collision frequency. There are two different types of reactions, endo and exothermic reactions.
