When comparing the activation energy between different exothermic reactions, as the activation energy decreases at a given temperature, the reaction rate increases because the

The rate increases because there will be more molecules and atoms that contain the required amount of energy to surpass the activation threshold. As this ratio increases, the speed of the reaction will increase to match. As this ratio increases, the rate of collisions between molecules will increase as well, which will continue to speed the process.

Maybe you should get some from your teacher and learn more so you can get your grades up and maybe study a bit more
