Achemical engineer is developing a process for producing a new chemical. one step in the process involves allowing a solution of potassium hydroxide to react with a solid. which action would most likely increase the reaction rate for this step?

An action of enhancing the temperature would be most feasible to improve the rate of reaction as the kinetic energy increments which generates the particles to collide with each other quicker. The rate of reaction duplicates for every 10 degree Celsius rise in temperature which causes the particles to have more collisions vigorously at an intense rate. The frequency of collisions also increases giving more speed to the rate of reaction which reaches energies equal to or greater than activation energy.
