Which of the following does not change the energy of the reactants relative to the activation energy?
reducing the temperature
adding a catalyst
increasing the surface area
increasing the temperature

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to initiate a chemical reaction.

A catalyst helps in increasing the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy barrier.

Whereas when we reduce the temperature then there will be decrease in energy of reactant molecules. On the other hand, increasing the temperature will increase the energy of reactants.

Increasing the surface area will not have any affect on activation energy.

Hence, we can conclude that increasing the surface area does not change the energy of the reactants relative to the activation energy.

answer: any goods being imported from another country may be subject to issued by the federal government are tariffs

explanation:  

tariffs are a tax on anything that are imported from abroad. government use them to protect and boost their local industries and the thought is that they encourage consumers to buy local instead of importing and they will hope will protect jobs and economy in the country that implements them
