i. Three major factors affect the rate of a reaction, which are adding a catalyst, increasing the temperature, and increasing the concentration of a reactant. From the perspective of collision theory, explain increasing the temperature increases the reaction rate. ii. Why do large crystals of sugar burn more slowly than finely ground sugar?

why surface area of reactants and the presence of a catalyst affects the rate of chemical reaction?
2. Explain how temperature increases the rate of a reaction. Use the collisiontheory in your answer.
use the collision theory to explain why concentration has this effect on reaction rates
Which of the following statements is false. Catalysts make a reaction rate go faster by providing a different route for the same reaction to proceed that requires less input energy. Increasing the concentration increases the rate of a reaction because more molecules are available in the same amount of space leading to more collisions with the correct orientation. Adding energy increases the rate of a reaction because more collisions happen with enough energy to break the bonds. Increasing the pressure by adding an inert gas increases the rate of reaction by causing more collisions.
