I NEED ANSWER TONIGHT PLZ!!!! :(

Which condition results in an activation energy that allows the reaction to occur more easily?

reducing the concentrations of reactant molecules


decreasing the temperature


decreasing the surface area of the particles


adding a catalyst

Answer:

I think adding a catalyst

Step-by-step explanation:

From what I found, any of the first 4 don't work, reducing the concentrations of reactant molecules just decreases the chances of it reacting, decreasing the temperature does more or less the same, as it takes away energy, decreasing the surface area of the particles does more or less nothing in this situation, but for a reaction to occur, you need to add energy, which only the catalyst does. good luck!
