What does a catalyst do to speed up a reaction?

• It reduces the surface area of the reactants

• It increases the surface area of the reactants.

• It reduces the required energy for a chemical reaction to occur and provides an alternative pathway.

• It increases the required energy for a chemical reaction to occur

Why does a higher temperature increase the rate of a reaction?

• it increases both the frequency and energy of particle collisions
• it only increases the frequency of particle collisions
• it only increases the energy of particle collisions
• it reduces the activation energy of the reaction

Why does a higher concentration increase the rate of reaction?

• it increases the amount of reactants
• it lowers the activation energy
• it increases the energy of particle collisions
• it increases the frequency of particle collisions because there are more collision sites

Which of these will NOT speed up the rate of reaction between a strip of magnesium and hydrochloric acid?

• tightly coil up the strip of magnesium
• cut up the strip of magnesium
• increase the concentration of the hydrocholoric acid
• increase the temperature of the hydrocholoric acid
