When food spoils, it is a chemical reaction. For example, rancid butter is produced when the fat molecules in the butter undergo oxidation. Another factor that can lead to the decomposition of food molecules is the presence of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. To preserve food, man down the rates of such reactions.

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.
Is the following statement is true ? The rate of the reaction will always be a positive value.
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.
