Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary reason for the increase in reaction rate with increasing temperature?
  • Step 1: Understand that temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
  • Step 2: Know that when temperature increases, the molecules in a substance move faster.
  • Step 3: Realize that faster-moving molecules collide with each other more often.
  • Step 4: Recognize that not all collisions lead to a reaction, but more frequent collisions increase the chances of a successful reaction.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because there are more effective collisions at higher temperatures, the reaction rate increases.
