AP Chem - we discussed how and why each factor that CAN affect the rate of a reaction actually AFFECTS the reaction. We discussed "nature" of the reactant, catalysts, concentration, temperature, and (for solids and liquids) surface area.
We then reviewed the measurements and calculations of rates of reactions and the relative rates of disappearance of reactants to the rates of appearance of products. You must know how to relate one to the other and how to relate BOTH to the standard for calculating the rate of "the reaction", overall.
