Which of the following will increase the rate of a reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Each option listed contributes to increasing the rate of a chemical reaction: increasing temperature raises the energy of the molecules, increasing the likelihood of successful collisions; increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions; adding a catalyst lowers the activation energy required for the reaction; and ensuring proper alignment of reactants when they collide increases the probability of a successful reaction.
