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.
2. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed by the reaction. A catalyst works by lowering the activation energy for a reaction, making it easier for reactants to form products. What effect, if any, would a catalyst have on a system already at equilibrium? Briefly explain.
Which of the following will lower the activation energy for a reaction? Group of answer choices raising the temperature of the reaction. increasing the concentrations of reactants. increasing the surface area of the reactants. adding a suitable catalyst.
