If the temperature of a chemical reaction was reduced, how could the reaction rate most likely be increased?
Group of answer choices

decrease the pressure acting on the system

add a chemical inhibitor

decrease the surface area of the reactants

increase the concentration of the reactants

Respuesta :

Answer:

Increase the concentration of the reactants.

Explanation:

This question seems vague, but to put it simply, the reaction rate decreases with a decrease in temperature, so we need to find a way to increase the reaction rate again. When you lower temperature, the molecules are slower and collide less. So therefore, in other words, we need to find a way to increase the rate of collisions between molecules. When the temperature drops, if we increase the concentration of the reactants, we are able to increase the rate of collisions between molecules. As a result, reaction rate is increased once again.
