The statement which best describe the relationship between activation energy and rate of reaction is (2) Reducing the activation energy can increase the rate of a reaction.
- By increasing the activation energy,the rate of reaction will always reduce because molecules can only complete the reaction once they have reached the high level of the activation energy barrier.
