How does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction? It decreases the enthalpy change of the reaction. It lowers the potential energy of the reactants. It provides a lower activation energy for the reaction. It raises the potential energy of the products.

Two people each hold the end of a rope and create waves by moving their arms up and down. this wave is best classified as a transverse wave because a) both the rope particles and the wave are moving in the same direction. b) the wave is moving up and down as the particles of the rope move horizontally. c) the wave is moving horizontally as the particles of the rope move up and down. eliminate d) the wave is moving in a parallel direction with the motion of the person's arms.
