Answer to Question #293034 in Electric Circuits for Kenny adebayo

Question

Explain the effect of increasing the temperature of a reaction on the rate of the reaction .

Answer 1

During a reaction, an increase in temperature results in an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles.

This makes the particles to move faster and collide more frequently with sufficient energy to cause more effective collisions per given time. Thus the reaction takes place faster resulting in faster formation of the products.
