Question

givin the reaction:

Mg (s) + 2HNO3(aq)

which tempurature will the reaction occur at the greatest rate?

Answer 1

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
