6.

Why does a higher concentration increase the rate of reaction?

a)

it increases the amount of reactants

b)

it lowers the activation energy

c)

it increases the energy of particle collisions

d)

it increases the frequency of particle collisions

7.

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

a)

it increases both the frequency and energy of particle collisions

b)

it only increases the frequency of particle collisions

c)

it only increases the energy of particle collisions
