Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand that temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
  • Step 2: Know that molecules are tiny particles that make up everything around us.
  • Step 3: Realize that when temperature increases, the molecules move faster because they have more energy.
  • Step 4: Recognize that faster-moving molecules are more likely to collide with each other.
  • Step 5: Understand that when molecules collide more often, chemical reactions happen more quickly.
  • Step 6: Conclude that higher temperatures usually lead to faster chemical reactions.
