01 Rate of Reaction
Concentration Pressure
Only for reaction that
Higher concentration, involves gaseous
higher ROR. reactants.
Catalyst Example : Combustion of
Substance which can alter the rate petrol in car engines
of a chemical reaction
● Positive catalyst (Iron, Fe)
● Negative catalyst (Cyanide, CN)

Application in
Daily Life
Size Factor
Burning of coal
• The smaller the size of coal, the bigger
the TSA
• Larger surface area exposed to the heat
• Coal burnt faster
Action of Medicines
• Antacid tablets are used to treat gastric
• Chewing / Digest the tablet makes it
smaller in size
• Increase TSA
• Larger TSA, higher the ROR between
medicine and the acid in stomach
Temperature
Factor
Food Storage in
Refrigerator
• Temperature in refrigerator is low
• The lower the temperature, the lower the
rate of growth of microorganisms and
lower the rate of decay of food by
microorganisms
• Food can last longer
Cleaning
• Washing clothes using detergent powder
and warm water combines two factor
that increase ROR
• Higher the concentration of detergent,
higher number of particles of detergent
• Temperature of warm water will increase
the kinetic energy of water molecules
and the particles of detergent
Catalyst
Factor
Fermentation process in
the making of “tapai”
• During the process in the making of
“tapai”, yeast will be poured into the rice
• Presence of yeast will increase the
process of fermentation
• Can make more “tapai” in a short time
Catalytic Converter
• Exhaust gas from car engines contains
pollutants
• Catalytic converters change pollutants
into non-harmful products that are safe
to be released into the atmosphere
• Presence of catalyst will make the
process occurs faster
Concentration
Factor
Corrosion due to
Acid Rain
• Atmosphere around industrial areas
contains a high concentration of sulphur
dioxide
• Concentration of acidic pollutants
increase, level of acid rain increase
• Buildings made of iron around industrial
area will corrode faster due to the acid
rain
Pressure
Factor
Cooking using Pressure
Cooker
• Liquid inside the pot boils and creates
steam
• Steam is trapped inside cause pressure
increases
• Boiling point of water increase
• Higher cooking temperature makes food
cooks more quickly
