HOW TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE RATES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

The rate of chemical reaction is the amount of reaction occurring per unit time i.e. the amount of reactants converting per unit time or the amount of products being formed per unit time.

Rates of chemical reaction can be affected by the following;

1. increasing the temperature of the system
2. increasing the concentration of the reactants
3. adding a catalyst
4. increasing the sf the reactants
5. increasing the pressure if it's a gaseous reaction
6. introduction of light if it's a photolytic reaction

The Nigerian education system

The educational system in Nigeria is divided into 4 stages which are

1.       The pre-school stage (kindergarten stage)

2.       The primary education

Most students however usually proceed to universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education that abound the country. At universities they get a bachelors degree after an average of 4 years, engineering courses take 5 years, medicine and law takes 6 years each. Universities also offer maters program and PhD for those that would like to go into academics. A parallel system is the polytechnic which offers higher national diplomas after 5 years of study.
