Collision theory states that when two molecules collide with each other with sufficient energy and hit in the proper orientation, a bond is formed. Which action will increase the rate of reaction in a closed container?
A)
adding an inert gas
B)
expand the volume
C)
increase the temperature
D
decrease the concentration

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next
