Factors affecting rate of reaction:

Effect of Concentration:
From law of mass action, we know
Rate of reaction ∝ Concentration of reactants
Generally, rate of reaction decreases with passage of time, due to decrease in concentration of reactants.

Effect of temperature:
Most of the chemical reactions are accelerated by increase in temperature.

Effect of catalyst:
Presence of positive catalyst increases the rate of reaction.
Presence of negative catalyst decreases the rate of reaction.
