Reactions: Chemical Reaction Rates

The video tutorial explains how various factors affect the rate of chemical reactions. It begins with an example of frying an egg to illustrate a chemical reaction. The tutorial then explores how temperature, concentration, and surface area can influence reaction rates, using examples like glow sticks, gas combustion, and fire. Finally, it discusses the role of catalysts and enzymes in speeding up reactions without being consumed.

Describe how surface area influences the rate of a chemical reaction.

What role do catalysts play in chemical reactions, particularly in the human body?
