Which Factors Affect the Rates of Reaction the Most

2AgNO3 (aq) + CuCl2 (aq) 2AgCl(s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq)

Hypothesis: 1) Temperature: The increase of temperature will speed up the rate of reaction since the molecules have higher kinetic energy and thus will collide at a higher rate. 2) Concentration: A higher concentration means there are more molecules present to collide with thus there will be more collisions over a shorter period of time. 3) State: The addition of water to the copper chloride (going from a solid to an aqueous state) will allow for the copper and chloride ions to dissociate, therefore they will form new compounds more easily and thus speed up the reaction. AgNO3 C = 0.1 mol/L V = 10 mL N = 0.01 mol 0.01 x = 0.005 mol CuCl2 C = 0.1 mol/L v = 10 mL n = 0.01 mol 0.01 x 1/1 = 0.01 mol AgNO3 is the limiting reagent.
