Which statement about the factors that affect reaction rates is false? Decreasing the concentrations of the reacting particles decreases the chance of collision. A collision with poor orientation requires a higher activation energy than a collision with optimum orientation. Increasing the pressure in a gaseous reaction increases the chance of collision. A reaction occurs every time particles of the reactants collide. Increasing the temperature increases the reaction rate.

According to collision theory, the increase observed in the rate constant with increasing temperature is at least partly attributed to the fact that the enthalpy change for most reactions is negative. True or False.
22. The rate of a reaction depends on many factors such as the concentration of the reactants. Which of the following explains why an increase in the concentration of reactants affects the rate of reaction? The reactants move faster. The collisions increase between the reactants. There are fewer molecules present. The activation energy is lowered.
Increasing the temperature of the reactants increases the fraction of the reacting species that collide with energies equal to or greater than the free energy/activation energy. Another factor that can affect whether or not molecules react is their orientation/bond length toward one another when they collide. Molecules with incorrect bond lengths/orientations will not react even if they successfully collide.
