Answer:
Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.
Explanation:
The first step of the oxidation of a primary alcohol involves conversion to an aldehyde via the elimiination of a hydrogen molecule. Thus, ClCH2CH2CH2OH becomes ClCH2CH2COH, which is 3-chloropropanal.
John Dalton
Although the concept of the atom dates back to the ideas of Democritus, the English meteorologist and chemist John Dalton formulated the first modern description of it as the fundamental building block of chemical structures.
