An increase in the concentration of the reactants of a reaction leads to change in

heat of reaction
threshold energy
collision frequency
activation energy

Correct answer: activation energy

Solution

An increase in the concentration of the reactants of a reaction leads to an increase in the collision frequency, which in turn increases the rate of reaction. This is because the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the collision frequency.
