Q. Assertion: Increasing the concentration of reactants will cause a reaction to proceed faster.
Reason: More reactants lowers the activation energy of a reaction.

Q. The energy of activation for a reaction is

100 k J m o l^{- 1}

. Presence of a catalyst lowers the energy of activation by 75%. The ratio of final rate to initial rate is:

Q. Assertion :If temperature does not affect the rate of reaction,

E_{a} = 0

. Reason: Lesser is the activation energy, slower is the rate.

Q. Assertion :If the activation energy of a reaction is zero, temperature will have no effect on the rate constant. Reason: Lower the activation energy, faster is the reaction.
