Catalysts permit reactions to proceed along a ___________energy path.

• lower
• higher

Smaller particle size allows for a _________ surface area to be exposed for the reaction.

• larger
• smaller

Increasing the temperature will increase the kinetic energy of particles, therefore increasing the collisions between particles.
