Answer

The presence of catalysts, temperature, and the molar amounts of reactants.

Work Step by Step

We know that catalysts can help align particles and find a more favorable path for a reaction, increasing reaction rate. We know that increasing temperature can also give more particles enough energy to react upon collision, also increasing reaction rate. Lastly, we know from the equations that the molar concentrations affect reaction rate.
