Two changes are made, separately, to a reaction between two gases.
Change 1: the temperature is increased, with the volume kept the same
Change 2: the gases are compressed into half the volume, at the same temperature
Effect X: the particles collide more often
Effect Y: a greater proportion of collisions have at least the activation energy
Which row describes the effects of each change?
Change 1 causes X and Y; Change 2 causes X only
Change 1 causes X only; Change 2 causes X and Y
Change 1 causes Y only; Change 2 causes X only
Change 1 causes X and Y; Change 2 causes X and Y
