Temperature & Rate of Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
Increasing the temperature of the reaction mixture increases the rate of reaction in the following two ways:
A
At higher temperatures, the particles are moving faster, so collide more frequently. A higher number of collisions in total mean a higher number of successful collisions
At higher temperatures, a higher proportion of the molecules have the activation energy or more. This means that a higher proportion of collisions are successful
