Which of the following would lead to an increase in the rate of a chemical reaction according to collision theory?
- Adding an inert gas at constant volume to increase the total pressure within the container.
- Increasing the temperature, which increases the fraction of collisions with energy exceeding E_a.
- Increasing the activation energy (E_a) that is required for the reaction to proceed at all.
- Decreasing the surface area of a solid reactant that is available for collisions with reactant molecules.
