. a) changing the nature of the reactants Changing the nature of the reactants might increase or decrease the rate of reaction. The change would result from a change in activation energy and/or a change in the requirements that the reactants have a particular orientation when they collide. b) increasing the concentration of one or more of the reactants c) raising the temperature at which a reaction is performed d) increasing the surface area of a solid reactant e) adding an appropriate catalyst

Which of the following statements is true, according to the collision theory? Question 15 options: All collisions result in reactions. Entities must collide to react. Entities that collide but are incorrectly oriented will form a different product. All entities in a collision have the same quantity of kinetic energy.
Select the true statement regarding catalysis of chemical reactions Catalysts appear in the overall reaction equation. Catalysts decrease the reaction enthalpy. Catalysts decrease the activation energy. O The catalyzed and uncatalyzed versions of a chemical reaction have the same mechanism. Catalysts decrease the reaction rate.
