Question

A metal oxide reacts chemically with water to form a base in the reaction shown below. If the temperature of the metal oxide and water solution is increased, this will most likely

Answer 1

increase the rate of chemical change.

Explanation:

The reaction of the metal oxide with water to form a base in the presence of a spike in temperature will lead to an increase in the rate of chemical change.

Temperature change has considerable effect on reaction rates.

• Temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of reacting particles.
• Reaction rates varies directly with a spike in temperature.
• It has been known that for every 10°C rise in temperature, above the room temperature, reaction rates become double or tripled.
• Temperature increases the kinetic energy of each of the reacting particles.
• Many of the reacting particles also acquires an energy greater than or equal to the activation energy of the reaction.
• The frequency of ordinary collisions and effective collisions per unit time increases.
