🧠 Memory Aid: CCTSP
Remember the five factors that affect rate of reaction using CCTSP:
- C — Concentration (more particles per volume)
- C — Catalyst (lowers activation energy)
- T — Temperature (faster particles, more exceed Ea)
- S — Surface area (more exposed particles)
- P — Pressure (for gases — same as concentration)
Picture a chef (C) cooking (C) in the Test kitchen (T) with Special (S) Pans (P) — CCTSP rules the kitchen of chemistry!
