What are four actions that could decrease the rate of a chemical reaction?
gpt
Decrease the surface area, decrease the temperature, decrease the concentration, and do not use a catalyst.
Explanation: This is based on Le Chatelier's principle, which states that changing any factor in a system causes an equilibrium to shift in response to restore equilibrium. In the context of chemical reactions, these actions all cause the reaction to shift away, which is a change to a lower state and thus lowering of reaction rate.
