In an experiment on rates of reaction, potassium carbonate was reacted with dilute sulphuric (VI) acid. What would be the effect of an increase in the concentration of the acid on the rate of the reaction?

Answer Text:
- The rate of reaction increases. This is because when the concentration is high, the number of collisions between
particles is also high hence reacts faster.
