(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase. Catalysts decrease reaction rates. Reaction rate constants decrease with increasing temperature. The higher the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. O Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase. Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.
