Which of the following statements about collision theory is ALWAYS true?
An increase in temperature will increase the chance of collision and

therefore result in more products being formed.
Increasing the rate of collisions increases reaction rate.
A catalyst will increase the rate of collisions between reactant particles.
The greater the energy of collision, the less likely a reaction will occur.
2 Consider the equilibrium system below:
wW + xX ⇌ yY + zZ
At equilibrium, which of the following statements is true?
w+x=y+z
[W]+[X]=[Y]+[Z]
the forward rate of reaction = the reverse rate of reaction
the forward activation energy = the reverse activation energy
3 The immediate effect of increasing the temperature of an equilibrium system will

be:
an increase in the rate of the endothermic reaction and a decrease in the

rate of the exothermic reaction.
an increase in the rate of both the endothermic and exothermic reactions.
an increase in the activation energy of both the endothermic and
exothermic reactions.
an increase in the activation energy of the endothermic reaction and a
decrease the activation energy of the exothermic reaction.
