Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A) Chemical reactions progress at a faster rate when the reacting particles are present in higher numbers.
B) Catalysts increase the rate of chemical reactions, sometimes while undergoing reversible changes in shape.
C) Larger particles move faster than smaller ones and thus collide more frequently and more forcefully.
D) Chemical reactions proceed more quickly at higher temperatures.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. In fact, larger particles move more slowly than smaller ones due to their greater mass and thus collide less frequently and less forcefully. This is why reactions generally proceed more quickly in solutions or gases where the reactant particles are small and more numerous.
