Every chemical reaction has its own characteristic rate. It is affected by some important factors. The most important factors are 1 , temperature, 2 , 3 and surface area out of these factors rise/decrease in temperature, light quantity, rise in the concentration of reactants and surface area 4 the rate of reaction. Whereas as 5 alter the rate of reaction.
Rate $$(M s^{-1})$$ | $$[A]$$ | $$[B]$$ |
$$0.10$$ | $$1.0\ M$$ | $$0.20\ M$$ |
... | $$2.0\ M$$ | $$0.20\ M$$ |
... | $$2.0\ M$$ | $$0.40\ M$$ |

Action | Change of concentration | Change in rate |
$$\bullet$$ More hydrogen is added | $$\bullet$$ Increase the concentration of reactant. | $$\bullet$$ Rate the forward reaction increases. |
$$\bullet$$ More ammonia is added | $$\bullet$$ Increase the concentration of product. | $$\bullet$$ .............. |
$$\bullet$$ Ammonia is removed | $$\bullet$$ Decrease the concentration of product. | $$\bullet$$ .............. |
$$\bullet$$ More nitrogen is added | $$\bullet$$ Increase the concentration of reactant. | $$\bullet$$ ................ |
