Solution

The correct option is D Concentration of reactants

The factors that influence the rate of chemical reaction are:

  • Surface area of reactants: Powdered materials react more vigorously than solid materials. Moreover, reactivity increases if a material is in liquid or gaseous state.
  • Temperature: It increases the kinetic energy of molecules and thus the rate of reaction increases.
  • Catalyst: It does not take part in a reaction directly but increases the rate of a reaction.
  • Concentration of reactants: With the increase in the concentration of the reactants the rate of the reaction increases.
