Why does increasing the temperature increase the rate of reaction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Particles move faster, collide more often and with more energy
- Step 1: Higher temperature gives particles more kinetic energy. Step 2. More collisions are successful. Answer: Particles move faster, collide more often and with more energy. Why not the others: The other options contradict collision theory.
