Catalysts permit reactions to proceed along a ___________energy path.

• lower
• higher

Smaller particle size allows for a _________ surface area to be exposed for the reaction.

• larger
• smaller

The ___________ the surface area of the reactants, the faster the reaction rate.

• larger 
• smaller
