For any reaction, what is the influence of temperature on the reaction rate? |
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 |
Increase with an increase in temperature |
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. |
