In general, what is the relationship between temperature and the reaction rate of a chemical reaction? A. When temperature incre
ases, the number and energy of collisions between particles increases, which increases the rate of the reaction. B. When temperature increases, the activation energy required for the reaction increases, which decreases the rate of the reaction. C. When temperature increases, the reaction becomes more endothermic, which increases the rate of the reaction. D. When temperature increases, the reaction becomes more exothermic, which decreases the rate of the reaction.
A. When temperature increases, the number and energy of collisions between particles increases, which increases the rate of the reaction.
Explanation:
The reaction rate measures the speed with which a reaction proceeds. Based on the collision theory of reaction rates, the rate of a given reaction depends on the number of collisions per time and how successful or effective the collisions are.
Reaction rate in view of the collision theory is very related to concentration and temperature. Both properties are directly proportional to the rate of a reaction.
As temperature increase, the rate of the reaction increases due to the number of effective collisions and the energy of between colliding particles.
