An investigation was conducted to determine the rate of reaction when 1 g of solid X reacts with $100\,\text{cm}^3$ of solution Y. The reaction happened too quickly for measurements to be taken. What change could be made to reduce the reaction rate?
- Aadd a catalyst
- Bdecrease the concentration of solution Y
- Cdecrease the particle size of solid X
- Dincrease the temperature
