  1. 1.

    How does an increase in temperature typically affect the behavior of particles in a reaction?

    A.

    Particles become larger and collide more often.

    B.

    The frequency of collisions decreases as particles move away from each other.

    C.

    Particles gain kinetic energy, leading to more frequent and more energetic collisions.

    D.

    The particles lose energy to the surroundings, slowing down the reaction.

    A.

    The particles move with a higher average speed.

    B.

    The activation energy of the reaction is reduced.

    C.

    There are more reactant particles per unit volume, leading to more frequent collisions.

    D.

    The total energy of the system decreases.

  3. 3.

    In a chemical reaction, what is the primary function of a catalyst?

    A.

    To increase the yield of the products by shifting equilibrium.

    B.

    To be consumed in the reaction to provide energy.

    C.

    To provide an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy.

    D.

    To increase the temperature of the reaction mixture.
