d)

will increase greater collision energ% so greater chance of acti$ation energ% being e!ceeded so greater fraction of successful collisions ' increases will increase more particles per unit $olume so collision fre/uenc% increases ' unchanged will increase more particles per unit $olume so collision fre/uenc% increases ' unchanged will increase alternati$e reaction pathwa% so lower acti$ation energ% so greater fraction of successful collisions 0' increases unless catal%st in rate e/uation in which case ' unchanged)
