The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:
- <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently. For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
- <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
- <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
- <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
- <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃

Answer:
10.11 mL
Explanation:
Given that :
Total volume of decolorizer = 500 mL
A common recipe is equal parts 95% ethanol and acetone.
So;
The volume of 95% ethanol in the decolorizer = 500mL/2 = 250 mL
Let represent V(ml) for the 99% of ethanol needed to make 95% of the 250 mL of ethanol;
Therefore:
V(ml) × 0.99 = 250 × 0.95
V(ml) × 0.99 = 237.5
V(ml) = 237.5/0.99
V(ml) = 239.89 mL
Hence; the amount of water to be added to 95% of ethanol = ( 250 - 239.89 )mL = 10.11 mL
