(B)Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase.


(C)Reaction rates increase as concentrations of homogeneous catalysts increase.


(D)Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase.


(E)Catalysts decrease reaction rates.


(F)Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.


(G)Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature.

PART TWO:
