In the reaction A + B → AB,which of the following will not increase the rate?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreasing the temperature would not increase the rate of the reaction as it would slow down the kinetic energy of the molecules, resulting in a decrease in the number of effective collisions between A and B. Adding A or B would increase the concentration of reactants and therefore increase the rate of the reaction. Increasing the temperature would increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to more frequent and effective collisions, thus increasing the rate of the reaction. Adding a catalyst would provide an alternative pathway with lower activation energy, increasing the rate of the reaction.
