Which changes will increase the rate of reaction during combustion? decreasing the area of contact between the reactants adding more oxygen to the reaction removing heat from the reaction changing the reactants from solid form to powdered form lowering the exposure of the reactants to air

The correct answer is B. The addition of oxygen will increase the rate of combustion. oxygen and raw material (fuel) are the substrates for the combustion process, therefore, increase in the same will obviously increase combustion rate. Carbon in the fuel is converted into carbon dioxide and heat.
