Responses

having a lower concentration of reactants
having a lower concentration of reactants

having less surface area
having less surface area

decreasing the amount of reactants
decreasing the amount of reactants

increasing the temperature

Answer 1

increasing the temperature

increasing the pressure

using a catalyst

stirring or agitating the mixture

increasing the surface area of the reactants ( e.g. cutting them into smaller pieces)

increasing the concentration of reactants (higher concentration provides more collisions between particles)
