A) The reaction has a low activation energy. B) The reaction has a low reaction rate. C) The formation of patina would occur faster during the summer than the winter. D) The formation of patina would occur slower at higher altitudes due to lower concentration of oxygen. E) Adding a catalyst would increase the rate of patina formation.
