The table shows the conditions during two trials of a reaction.
Reaction Conditions
Trial Temperature Catalyst
1 30 °C Platinum
2 35 °C Platinum

b
The activation energy barrier is lower during Trial 2 than Trial 1.
c
More reactant particles meet the activation energy requirement in Trial 2 than Trial 1.
d
The number of particles having the required activation energy is the same during Trial 2 and Trial 1.
