Question:
For any reaction, what is the influence of temperature on the reaction rate?
Options:
Decreases with increase in temperature
Increase with an increase in temperature
No effect on the rate of the reaction
In some cases it decreases, in others, it increases
Correct Answer:
Increase with an increase in temperature
Explanation:
An increase in temperature typically increases the rate of reaction. An increase in temperature will raise the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Therefore, a greater proportion of molecules will have the minimum energy necessary for an effective collision.
