Which statement best explains, in terms of collision theory, how the platinum catalyst increases the rate of this reaction?
Which statement best explains, in terms of collision theory, how the platinum catalyst increases the rate of this reaction?
- It increases the activation energy so particles collide more often.
- It lowers the activation energy so more collisions are successful.
- It increases the temperature of the exhaust gases.
- It increases the surface area of the reacting gases.
