Question

Why does increasing the temperature affect the rate constant for a reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this answer helps I don't know for sure which one it is but here is some information.

Explanation:

Increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of reactant molecules. Therefore they move around more and they move faster. As a result, collisions between reactant molecules are more frequent and the energy at which they collide is also sufficient enough to overcome the activation energy of the reaction. Hence a greater proportion of reactant molecules successfully collide, leading to an increase in the rate of reaction.
