Question 1 • Physical Science

Mora measures the speed of the particles in a solid mass. She wants to speed up the action. Which action will allow her to do so?

Answer
A
using an inhibitor
B
breaking it apart
C
adding more mass
D
lowering the activation energy

Explanation

Lowering the activation energy makes it easier for particles to undergo the process, so more particles can react in a given amount of time. An inhibitor would slow the process, while adding mass does not necessarily increase the particles’ speed. Therefore, lowering the activation energy is the action that speeds it up.
