A ______________ is a substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being used up during the reaction. 

• catalyst
• product
• reactant
• solute

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.
