Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Rate Of Reaction (Section 4 - No. 47)
Which of the following would decrease the rate of reaction?
Increasing the concentration of reactants
Increasing the surface area of reactants
Adding a catalyst
Decreasing the temperature
Explanation
Lowering the temperature reduces the kinetic energy of the reactants, thereby decreasing the frequency of successful collisions and reducing the reaction rate.
