Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between temperature and 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 in a chemical reaction, molecules are constantly moving and interacting with each other.
  • Step 3: Realize that when the temperature increases, the molecules gain more energy and move faster.
  • Step 4: Recognize that faster-moving molecules collide more often and with greater energy.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because of these more frequent and energetic collisions, the rate of the chemical reaction increases.
