b. increase in surface area
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Speeding up a chemical reaction
Required
Factors used to speed up reactions
Solution
There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :
1. Concentration
2. Surface area
3. Temperature
4. Catalyst
5. Pressure
6. Stirring
Temperature is related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Heat is absorbed causes the particles of matter to move faster so that the reaction can take place faster
The enlarged surface area of the reactants causes more particles to react with other particles.
50 g square block of sulfur can be broken into small pieces or powdered so that more particles come into contact with each other
