A large increase in the rate of a reaction for a rise in temperature is due to

Question

A large increase in the rate of a reaction for a rise in temperature is due to (A) increase in the number of collisions (B) the increase in the number of activated molecules (C) The shortening of mean free path (D) the lowering of activation energy

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

By using Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve the rise in temperature, increases the activated molecules to form the product therefore rate of reaction increases

Q. A large increase in the rate of a reaction for a rise in temperature is due to

increase in the number of collisions

the increase in the number of activated molecules

The shortening of mean free path

the lowering of activation energy

By using Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve the rise in temperature, increases the activated molecules to form the product therefore rate of reaction increases
