What action will slow down the rate of a reaction?
a. raising the temperature of the reactants
b. decreasing surface area of a solid reactant
c. increasing the concentration of the reactants
d. adding a catalyst to the reaction

B. Decreasing surface area of a solid reactant. The more surface area showing, the quicker the reaction rate.
