Answer:

The increase in the concentration of reactants increases the frequency of effective collisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concentration of reactants determines the rate of reaction by providing the number of reactants available to yield an effective collision. There is a direct relationship between the concentration of reactants and rate of reaction.

Higher concentration of reactants equals faster rate of reaction. Reactions occur when particles collide effectively, and by increasing the concentration of reactants, you increase the number of effective collisions, thereby making the reaction occur faster.
