1.) the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by temperature.
i.) State what happens to the rate of a reaction with increase in temperature
ii.) provide a reason for your answer in part i.) above in terms of collision theory​

Respuesta :

Answer:

As the temperature increases, the rate of a reaction increases.

Explanation:

The rate of the reaction increases because as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. The increased kinetic energy means that more molecules have enough energy to overcome the activation energy, that the collision frequency increases, and that the probability of molecular collision with the correct orientation to occur increases.

Molecules react when they collide with other molecules with enough energy + orientation, so the increased temperature would overall increase the rate of the reaction.
